2025 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PARISH OF WINKFIELD, CRANBOURNE & CHAVEY DOWN

BACKGROUND:

The Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down PCC has the prime responsibility of promoting the whole mission of the church(es); pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical requirements. Any PCC is an unusual committee in that it is, within the church, supposed to be concerned with the practical, day by day and routine ‘housekeeping’ that is required to keep a large organisation going. It is however also supposed to be an outward looking organisation, always seeking the lost, the lonely and those outside of the church. We endeavour to try to do both, it is a challenge and at times hard and painful work but it is always worth doing.

The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities for the church, hall and grounds of St Martin’s, Church Road, Chavey Down; the church and churchyard of St Mary’s, Church Road, Winkfield; and the church, churchyard, hall and grounds of St Peter’s, Hatchet Lane, Cranbourne.

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down PCC is a charity excepted from registration with the Charity Commission.

Membership: Members of the PCC are ex-officio, co-opted, or elected by the Annual Parochial Church meeting (APCM).

The Ministry Team - at present on hold - would meet to organise Sunday and weekday services, the ministers’ rota and other ministry events.

The Fabric Committees for St Martin’s, St Mary’s & St Peter’s individually co-ordinate the Quinquennial works and other issues relating to the fabric of each church.

The ‘Friends of St Mary’s Winkfield’ is a registered Charity (1162342), and all fundraising is for the maintenance and preservation of St Mary’s church and its resources.

The Friends Committee for St Martin’s. All adult members of St Martin’s are regarded as “Friends” and the Committee meet on their behalf regularly.

The furnishings of St Mary’s are looked after by the St Mary’s Women’s Guild which undertakes many social and fund-raising activities throughout the year.

We produce a bi-monthly online combined Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish Magazine, and although we had hoped to produce printed versions in 2025, at the present time this is not financially viable. However, the situation will continue to be looked and we still hope for a future paper version

ELECTORAL ROLL OFFICER’S REPORT

The total on our Electoral Roll is now 117 compared to last year’s figure of 236. Of these 117, 64 are resident in the parish and 53 are non-resident, 33 are male and 84 are female.

The split between our three churches is as follows:- 30 are members of St. Martin’s, 67 St. Mary’s and 20 St. Peter’s.

The main reason for the reduction in numbers is that Ranelagh School no longer require parents or guardians of prospective students to be on the parish Electoral Roll. In this current period of interregnum, I am happy to report that some new names have been added and some loyal parishioners have decided to rejoin the Roll.

We sincerely hope that everyone on our Roll will feel able to spare a little of their time volunteering to help in our church community. There are so many ways in which you can help – just ask our Church Wardens!

Marian Stevens, Electoral Roll Officer.

REVIEW OF THE PCC YEAR

It has been an eventful and busy year for the PCC! In addition to the normal five PCC meetings, Patrick’s departure in December at the end of his Interim Ministry meant extra meetings with the Archdeacon and Parish Development Officer, culminating with the disappointing news that we would once again be in Vacancy and looking to appoint another Interim Minister.

In addition to this, we had to deal with several breaches of the PCC code of conduct but have continued to work hard for the Parish, and in the absence of a Minister, the Church Wardens and Lay Chair have taken on much more responsibility - amongst their other numerous tasks - for the organisation and running of services, chairing meetings, and putting together our Parish Profile which we pray will be of interest to potential candidates. The intention is for you to view this Profile before the APCM starts, and if this is the case, I am sure you will appreciate the enormous amount of work that has gone into it, led by our Lay Chair, Andrea, ably helped by Stephanie, our Church Administrator, and all those taking photos and supplying information. A wonderful presentation of our Parish!

During the year, the PCC, the Standing Committee, and Fabric Teams for each church have ensured Parish and church life continues. Our Treasurer, Colin, has worked hard to encourage us all to join the Parish Giving Scheme (which makes it much easier to obtain Gift Aid), and ensured we have paid our Parish Share to the Diocese in full (see his Finance report for further information), and we have discussed Data Protection, Safeguarding, Health & Safety, and tried to find ways to increase our congregations - so important for the future of our Parish.

Penny Stringer

PCC Secretary

PARISH FINANCIAL REVIEW:

This last year was a challenging one for the Parish, we started 2024 with a continued focus on our financial recovery plan, however, we seen an overall reduction in general giving across all 3 churches and this meant that we have had a net reduction our general funds. Overall, the church’s financial reserves are still ‘a work in progress’ but I am pleased to share that our financial priority to pay our Parish Share in full was achieved.

As part of Financial Recovery Plan, regular giving by parishioners is essential to our success and since we launched the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) this has enabled monthly donations by direct debit and we have

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 3

encouraged all our regular donors to sign up to the Diocese wide scheme - giving us the opportunity to maximise the donations with the immediate collection of the gift aid as well as giving donors the option to future proof against inflation. PGS giving is now our biggest source of donations.

I would like to give a special mention to our generous church members, who continue to give valuable financial and wider support with the running of our churches and halls. In the year, income increased from regular giving, and we continued our fundraising efforts, thank you and well done to all our Parishioners and Friends!

At St Martin’s during the year we signed a lease agreement with Puddleduck Nursery school and this secures the Hall’s future and allows us to invest in the facilities and grow for the future. The hall continues to host the weekly Table Tennis group and recently taken a new regular booking. St Martin’s are also building links with local community groups and this relationship saw the return of the Village carol service. During the year at St Mary’s, we had another successful and busy year with school services, music concerts and the Christmas Tree festival becoming regular fixtures. The Electrical project was completed on time and under budget and was supported by the Friends of Mary’s Winkfield who have actively organised new events and concerts to fundraise.

Another busy year at St Peter’s with the usual programme of annual events including another successful Arts Week. In the coming year, we will need to undertake essential roof and guttering repairs covered by grants and fundraising.

The parish share continues to be our biggest cost currently, being over £1,750 a week that we pay to the Diocese for our contribution. Insurance costs have increased in line with inflation.

Fixed costs remain high and look to be high into the future, therefore, we are always looking at ways to reduce costs and energy usage and improve our buildings, but this will require some investment and fundraising.

We continue to receive generous donations for the restoration of our buildings and other on-going funds, however, the General Fund has come under pressure in the last few years and reserves have declined in 2024, therefore, we should not just focus on specific projects but fundraise for the ongoing weekly service costs of the church, which have steadily increased year on year.

Overall, the Parish has finished the year, by paying 100% of our Parish Share and looking ahead we must build our cash reserves and general fund, as we will face the same financial challenges the coming year as we enter a period of vacancy, this will bring fresh challenges and we must double down our fundraising efforts.

I would like to remind everyone that we receive no funding from the Diocese or Government and whilst we have so many members giving regularly and generously we must act decisively this year by continuing our Fundraising efforts and actively growing our congregations, with the aim of building our financial reserves. This will allow for positive actions that will deliver the rewards we can all share in the future. Colin Yates

Hon. Treasurer

WARDENS’ REPORTS:

ST MARY’S CHURCH Services

0800 Holy Communion

This service continued until January 2025. The regular congregants occasionally attend other Communion

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 4

services but unfortunately we have lost some to St George’s. It is a sad loss.

Family Communion, Holy Communion, Choral Matins and Crafty Choral Matins

These services have all continued during the year. The children once again, at Family Communion, usually take the elements to the altar and read prayers or poems at Crafty Choral Matins. The adult readers now read the Collect of the day and the Parish Prayer as well as the Epistle at the Communion services and Prayers for the King’s majesty and Royal Family with the Old Testament Lesson and Prayers for Clergy and People and Saint Chrysostom with the New Testament Lesson at Choral Matins. Since the beginning of 2025 a new service, Family Worship, has been written. This service to be used if we are unable to arrange for an ordained person to take a communion service. Many thanks to Canon Bernard Dagnell and Rev. Alan Dibdin who have been taking the Communion services since January.

Family Matins, Family Praise and Crafty Church.

All these services continue to work well. The children tell the story of the theme of the day at Family Matins. They read the bible passages and prayers at all three services. They also play the piano, violin and drums at several of the services. Many of them move to the Chancel for the Lord’s Prayer where they sing and demonstrate the actions that are shown on the screen.

Baptism and Wedding Preparation Sessions

Two couples attended the wedding preparation session this year. Fewer Baptism sessions took place during the year. Margaret Smith has again set up and attended the sessions. Many thanks to Margaret.

Baptisms

There were no baptisms during the year. Several of those attending the baptism sessions have booked services for later this year.

Funerals

We sadly lost two long standing members of the church during the year. Angela Michie and Brian Cox. They both did a great deal for the churches for many years. Angela provided the wonderful Harvest Suppers and Brian was Church Warden for many years and masterminded the Bell Tower Re-Construction - an enormous project for which we are extremely grateful. We miss them both.

Churchyard

The Community Pay Back Team continues to work well and the churchyard looks well cared for. If they need advice and help with our equipment they now contact the gardener of a congregant who organises the maintenance/repair and payment of the equipment. The gardener tends the front of the churchyard twice a month and also the Memorial garden. These two tasks are paid by members of the Parish.

Church Committee

The committee meets when necessary. Since the completion of the upgraded Electrics project there are several jobs that need to be addressed.

FOSMW

The Electrics project was finally completed end of August/beginning September. The new company, used to listed buildings and churches, was extremely efficient.

John Kimbell

John prepares and leads the Choral Matins services each month and Crafty Choral Matins on 5[th] Sundays. The children participate at Crafty Choral Matins

St Mary's Sidemen

We are extremely grateful to Sharon Cakebread, Jonathan Hemsley, Margaret-Anne Hodson, Richard

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 5

Loveys and George McBride, when home from university, who are sidemen at our services.

Bell Ringers – Tower and Hand Bell

The Tower Bells continue to ring before the service each Sunday - a very welcome sound. The Hand Bell Ringers ring at all special events and services and also on 5[th] Sundays. Our thanks to them all.

St Mary’s Choir

The choir continues to sing at Sunday services. Our extra singers join with St Mary’s choir at many of the services and we are most grateful to them. Once again they provided the choir for the Music and Merriment concert – The Winkfield Chorale. We welcomed William Bishop as Music Director in September. He plays at all our services and has started a junior choir. We thank William for all his work.

Events during 2024.

We held another Fayre in the church grounds following Family Matins in May. The children told the story of May Day and explained the many traditions associated with the Day. A power point presentation accompanied the story telling. Henry Smith was the organist at this service. After the service all moved outside for lunch and to visit the stalls. The parachuting teddy bears provided great interest. Many thanks to the Bell Ringers. There was also a poetry competition for the children. They wrote a poem for May Day. The Founders Choir, Royal Holloway, gave a concert in the summer and The HODS exhibition days took place in September. October was Harvest Festival which followed the Harvest Supper. Once again the Guild invited all the residents of Popels Hall to attend. December provided the Music and Merriment concert and the 4[th] Christmas Tree Festival. Several of the local businesses sponsored a tree.

Carols and Candlelight

Two services again this year all very well attended.

Winkfield St Mary’s School

John Kimbell and Lesley Philpot continue to visit the school and take assemblies every fortnight. It is working well. The school held their Christmas Carol service in the church.

Toddlers Group

St Mary’s School asked if we would like to hold a Toddlers group at the school. This takes place once a month. Several of the attendees also attend FP or CC services. Lesley Philpot attends with either a member of the choir or Guild to assist along with Hariette Small, a member of the 0930 congregation, who is to trek across the Sahara to raise money for Brain Cancer research in memory of Jasmine the little girl who, sadly, died of a brain tumour. Many thanks to all who assist.

Friendly Faces

This group meets on the second Thursday of the month in the church office at 10.00. The group endeavours to keep members aware of anyone in the Parish who might not be able to get to church regularly and needs help.

Lesley Philpot

Parish Church Warden

ST PETERS CHURCH

Services

Families started coming to St Peter’s during the year with children taking part in bible readings and prayers. A junior choir sings at special services. Candlemas and Easter services were well attended. At our Harvest service an eager group of children kneaded dough and took home their rolls for baking. On Christmas Eve we welcomed more than 200 adults and children to the family afternoon Carols & Candlelight and evening Communion by Candlelight services. We are grateful to Terry Ward-Hall and Roy

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 6

Burgess for their continuing help in taking our communion services since January, and to those who volunteer for the various duties to ensure our services run smoothly, though it would be wonderful to have a few more!

Support for the Ukraine School in Uman

Monetary donations, given in place of Christmas cards sent to each other at St Peter’s, were donated to a school in Ukraine. These were used by Razom Bracknell to purchase items much needed by the school.

Arts Week

Another very successful last week in October with music and singing, plus organ and art presentations. The church was full on Saturday and the final Sunday. Donation income for the week was in excess of £1,700.

Fundraising for New Nave Roof and Guttering

Our DAC application was approved as List B in late July, after bat surveys were undertaken. Fundraising, aided by a charity consultant, ensued with over 40 letters and online applications to charities. Responses were expected around the tax year end which has proved correct. Funds are beginning to come in slowly, but we are optimistic that we shall be able to start the repair work sometime this year.

Ongoing Fundraising

Andrea and Penny have added to our fundraising efforts by selling their wonderful plants, planters and hanging baskets, which have brightened up gardens over the spring and summer. Penny has also continued to make her very tasty jams and marmalades, and both she and Andrea are very grateful for the support received from everyone.

Community Payback Team

The team visit St Peter’s fortnightly on a Thursday, when they upkeep the churchyard and assist with any jobs inside the church. They are a great support much appreciated.

Health and Safety

General risk assessments and Fire Risk assessments have been reviewed and updated at St Peter’s. Any concerns are raised with the church warden and appropriate action is taken. Fire safety is raised before each of the Arts week events so that everyone is aware of the exit points. The use of Christmas candle is part of the fire risk assessment and reviewed each year.

Anne Crewe

Parish Church Warden

ST MARTIN’S CHURCH

Services

The communion services throughout the year have been taken by Rev Patrick Mukholi and our Morning Prayer services led by John Kimbell and the congregation.

Following the departure of Rev Patrick Mukholi in December 2024 we have adjusted our weekly service pattern to reflect the lack of ministerial leader ship. We are very grateful to Rev Alan Dibden for helping out by leading the communion service of the 4th Sunday of the month and the service of the 3rd Sunday of the month has been replaced by a community coffee morning. John & Alan are also helping out over Easter, and our thanks go to all those who have led a service during the year.

Also, huge thanks to our musicians who have played and sang every week to support the services at St. Martin's. Almost entirely voluntary effort from Josh Tuffley and Stephen Mason on organ/piano for which we're very grateful, our thanks also to Paul Jackson who stepped down from church duties in 2024.

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 7

Accompanists are always short in numbers and we know this is a big obligation and responsibility to deliver well weekly. At St. Martin's, the door is wide open to anyone who would like to step up to play the organ, the super user-friendly Technics digital piano (which makes other sounds too and transposes) or perhaps a guitar or other instrument? If you would like to help, please make yourselves known and you will be made very welcome!

The Crafty Café Church began by Patrick has continued to be held on the first Sunday of the month. Hilary now leads this informal service. The children take turns at readings then, helped by parents, cut out and colour the figures for the craft themes of the church seasons.

Harvest

The generous gifts received during the service were donated to the Bracknell Foodbank, the service was followed by a wonderful bring and share brunch.

Gift Service

The generosity of the congregation was demonstrated again at the Christmas gift service with toys being donated to Bracknell social services for them to distribute and food items going to the Bracknell foodbank.

Hall:

The hall is a valuable parish resource providing both an important income stream and a community space, with the nursery occupying the hall on week days and clubs, fitness classes and the guides taking up the evenings it is heavily used, the weekends are generally free for one off events and family parties. Over the coming months the floor will be sanded and sealed – this is well overdue. Improvements to the Hall Fire safety equipment are currently being reviewed and implemented.

Car Parking:

With the hall almost in continuous use we continue to monitor its use by local residents to ensure that there is sufficient space for legitimate users, and place cones and warning signs out when residents need reminding.

Lottery:

Ticket sales for the 2024/2025 Lottery were predicted to fall from previous years with the drop coming mainly from local residents. The lottery was originally set up as a fundraiser and a way of engaging with the local community, however with it no longer achieving the second objective we have taken the decision to suspend it this year to review how we can better engage with the local community.

Nursery:

Several personnel changes in the parent company have caused some delays in resolving issues with the management and running of the nursery, however we have an excellent relationship with the on-site management team and continue to work directly with them to ensure the smooth running of the hall.

Friends of St Martin’s

This year as well as supporting our sponsored child Jose who lives in Nicaragua and who is now 14 years of age, the Friends have helped fund the repair of our Flagpole, we are also looking into memorial plaques on the pews for some of our former congregation.

Payback Team

The Reading Community Payback team (offenders serving a community sentence) come to St Martin’s once a month and have made a big difference by clearing the Car Park of leaves and rubbish, strimming the grass, cutting hedges and generally tidying up all round ,it has never looked so tidy.

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 8

Community Coffee morning

In an attempt to better engage with the local community, we have launched a community coffee morning in the hall on the 3rd Sunday of the month, tea, coffee and cakes are provided by the Friends of St Martins. There is no service on this Sunday. It was launched at this year’s very successful Christmas Community Carol Service and has been advert via the community Facebook group, local posters and leaflet drops. So far it has failed to attract a regular attendance from the local community, with the congregation being the main supporters, for Easter we are arranging an additional communion service and an Easter egg hunt.

Memorial stain glass panels

Fundraising for the Memorial Windows remembering Mary Knight and Ruth Timbrell is now complete and we have applied to the Diocesan Advisory Committee for permission to proceed with the designs and installation work.

The Flower Team

The Flower Team work hard to make the Church displays look good for special occasions, and the other times of the year we mostly use silk flowers as the cost of fresh flowers has rocketed in price. We are very grateful to the congregation for the donations that are given towards the cost of the flowers it is a great help.

Summary

Over the year we have kept up to date with more urgent maintenance tasks for the church and the hall – thank you to everyone who has helped out.

The church and its facilities can't operate without the support of its congregation and community, and we are very grateful to all those who work so hard behind the scenes. I apologise for not listing you all or the many jobs that you do as I know that I would miss someone!

Overall congregation numbers are slightly down on last year and volunteers still insufficient to fill all vacancies, there is a high risk that this situation will get worse over the coming year with fewer volunteers having to take on more tasks. Our church community urgently needs to grow and renew itself, for this we need to get more people into our buildings and keep them coming back –we all have a responsibility to make this happen. From this growth we will increase our pool of volunteers who help to keep everything going and build up our income from collections which will give us the opportunity to improve our parish and the mission that it supports.

For the prosperity of St Martin’s Church in Chavey Down, finance and volunteers still remain the biggest issues, and help and support with either is greatly appreciated. Michael Dickinson

PCC member – St Martin’s Church

DEANERY SYNOD REPORT

There were, as usual, 3 Synod meetings during the past year, 19 March 2024, 18 June 2024 and 19 November 2024.

Kathryn Aboud, Discipleship Enabler and Youth Ministry specialist, was the speaker at the March meeting. She gave an interesting talk about her work on Ministry with children and provided a power point presentation. A short discussion followed and members were reminded that the subject for “The Gathering” on 27 April now renamed “Deanery Day Conference” would follow this theme.

Kathryn was also invited to attend the June meeting. She began with encouraging and complimentary

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 9

remarks about the Deanery Day Conference held in April and thought several Deaneries working together an excellent suggestion.

She referred to the powerpoint presentation she had shown at the March Synod and brought an additional one to the July Synod with questions relating to her previous discussion. These were:-

What are we doing currently What is our next step Where are the gaps Partnerships

Peter Durrant – Berkshire Historical Churches Trust – was the speaker at the November meeting, who gave a very interesting talk on what the Trust is and what it can offer Parishes.

Set up in 1984, the Trust is supported entirely by voluntary subscriptions, donations and legacies, and the more money it receives, the more help it can give. The objective is to raise funds to help with the cost of repairs to the fabric of Christian churches in Berkshire of any denomination belonging to or in association with ‘Churches together in England’. He hoped members would consider becoming Friends of the Trust. £30 for an individual or £45 for two people at the same address. Membership would enable members to attend meetings, social events, lectures and tours.

Lesley Philpot Deanery Synold Rep.

SAFEGUARDING REPORT

There have been no new safeguarding concerns reported for individuals within the parish, and we look forward to seeing how the Safeguarding processes develop as the Anglican Church adopts their new Safeguarding policies.

INDIVIDUAL CHURCH GROUP REPORTS:

ST MARY’S CHURCH

ST MARY’S CHOIR

The choir has performed at all regular Sunday services, the May Fayre, Harvest Evensong and 9 Lessons and Carols.

Our extra singers have joined with us for many services during the year and we are very grateful to them. Henry Smith, our third Holloway student, left us at the end of June as he finished his time at Holloway College. He is now Music Master at Bradfield College. William Bishop, another Holloway student, has now joined as Music Director. He trained and conducted both choirs for the Music and Merriment concert and has started working with a small group of children for the Junior Choir. During the year we have also worked with Josh Tuffley, Luke Saint, Anthony Hodson and Richard Sedding. Our thanks to all of them. Lesley Philpot

FRIENDS OF ST MARY’S WINKFIELD (FOSMW)

There were two major fundraising events during 2024: the first being the Music and Merriment Concert, once again managed by Anthony Hodson, and the second was the May Day Fayre which followed the Family Matins service telling the story of the history of May Day. The children took part in the service.

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 10

After the unfortunate pulling out of the chosen contractor for the Electrics project we found, very quickly, another company and one which was used to working in Listed Buildings with particular knowledge of churches. The work was completed very efficiently with no cancellations necessary of any church activities. Jonathn Hemsley and Richard Loveys worked tirelessly on this project and are to be thanked for their help.

FOSMW has supported other Church Fund Raising activities by offering ticket purchasing facilities on the FOSMW website.

Thanks to all the Trustees.

Lesley Philpot - Chairman

WINKFIELD ST MARY’S WOMEN’S GUILD

We have been lucky enough to be invited to attend several of our meetings at the homes of our members. This is always enjoyable and we thank those members.

Several members attended Water Perry Gardens in July. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and it was too wet to spend time in the Gardens. The museum was fascinating and we shall probably arrange another visit. Judith Usher gave another of her interesting talks at the September meeting. It was called “My humanitarian trip to the Ural Mountains in Russia with a doctor and Russian friend” The friend had a cousin who lived in Yekataninburg, Russia who was asking for help in providing medication, beds and bed linen and everything else needed to provide a fully functional hospital. Judith and her friend spent time advertising the problem, seeking help and also funds to make this possible. They worked hard and eventually travelled to Russia to ensure all equipment was installed correctly and medicines carefully stored. It was an incredible story.

Members assisted at the HODS days and again invited all Popels residents to the Harvest Supper which followed Evensong led by John Kimbell. A wreath was laid at the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday on behalf of the Guild.

Several members decorated the main Christmas Tree in readiness for the M&M Concert and then joined the rest of the group in the White Hart for our Christmas lunch. The December meeting again took place at the home of a member. Arrangements for the Christmas Tree Festival were discussed before ending the meeting with a short service.

Lesley Philpot - President .

TOWER CAPTAIN’S REPORT

Firstly, let me begin by thanking you all for the time and commitment you put into keeping the bells ringing at St Mary’s. The congregation and local community are very appreciative of your efforts and love to hear the bells ringing out whether they attend church services or not. We are keeping the message alive that the church is here and still active.

The year began with a jolly good tidy up in the tower in readiness for the ringing year ahead. We celebrated together in May with a handbell and curry evening, kindly hosted by Rhonda this time. Lovely grub showcasing our team’s culinary skills. And a chance for the tower ringers to have a go at the Handbells. We were fortunate to have a dry evening and were able to eat al fresco. On the 24 of July, we got to the 2[nd] round of the Lorna Newton competition via a bye in the 1[st] round. Drawn against a combined team from Beaconsfield and Penn, judged by Charles Botting, we met and rang at Clewer Church. After ringing our set piece of 120 changes, we came second, better luck in 2025.

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 11

We all enjoyed a superb ringing outing at the end of September, kindly organised by Jill, visiting Hurst, Wargrave, Sonning and, after a tasty lunch in The Shoulder of Mutton, a final ring at Shiplake. All four churches gave us experience of ringing on different bells which is always valuable. Many thanks go to Debby and Chris for hosting our summer barbeque. The sun shone and we spent a most enjoyable afternoon together brushing up on our croquet. The open tower had very few visitors on 7[th] September although those who came were very interested. Bell Sunday on 29[th] September was well attended and an enjoyable service was held. Firework night was dry and not too cold, and we were able to celebrate. It was lovely to see everyone and to share our bangers - tasty and explosive!

Many thanks to Sue W for organising yet another fabulous evening, this year at the Stag and Hounds. We were so pleased to be able to welcome Mike, Audrey and Brian for what would sadly be his last ringers’ Christmas dinner. Brian was a ringer when I first joined the band and often rang the 4 to Bob Doubles or Grandsire. In later years he often attended and rang the tenor behind. He was instrumental in raising the height of the ringing room and in drawing up the ‘rules’ that are displayed on the wall of the ringing chamber. A very loyal advocate for the ringers and the Bells of St Mary’s, as well as working tirelessly for the Church for many years.

2025 was rung in with style this year and it was lovely to have friends and family join us in the tower. Some of us went to the White Hart for a drink beforehand for what was Jean and Phil’s last NYE as landlords. Here’s hoping somebody else takes on the venture.

We have just had a fabulous quiz with many thanks to Trevor for all the quizzes he has run over the years. He has quite a local reputation as an outstanding quiz master. Also, many thanks must go to Jill for organising all the catering for the evening which is always of the highest standard. Numbers were down this year at 62 as opposed to 90 last year though we managed to make a profit in excess of £650.

Lastly, special thanks go to Kathryn for all the work she puts in as secretary, to Jonathan for keeping the books straight as Treasurer, and to Trevor who, in addition to setting quizzes, is our Steeple Keeper, splicing and adjusting our ropes, teaching new learners and us all new methods.

2024 was another busy year for the hand bell team! Our AGM in March, following the usual business, allowed us to plan our social activities for the year. And what a year we have had! During Holy Week when we are not permitted to ring, all the bell ringers and partners enjoyed an evening of tenpin bowling – we may do something different for 2025.

We enjoyed many social events throughout the year along with the tower bell ringers. The Music and Merriment concert in December was, as usual, a huge success and the hand bells were delighted to be a part of it; we have already started to plan for this year’s concert. We again hosted the Birthday Rally in January when ringers from around the area came to join in with massed ringing – it is always a good event that is well supported. Could be something to do with the copious quantity of cake!!

As well as our continuing commitment to ringing on the 5[th] Sundays we also perform regularly for special events and services which we thoroughly enjoy. A special event for us last August was ringing during the birthday celebration service of Canon Dagnell in Oxford – we always enjoy his visits to St Mary’s Church and he enjoys hearing the hand bells. It was a really lovely service.

In December we rang after the Bracknell Choral Society concert at the Royal Holloway Chapel in the very beautiful Portrait Gallery – another first for us.

Our quiz night in February was a huge success with almost every table booked! We would have struggled to accommodate many more teams. As always we are extremely grateful to the community for their support at this event which raised a substantial amount of money for the tower electric fund ready for the work to commence sometime soon, we hope.

On Easter morning we will be performing as part of the Easter service which is always a privilege for such an important occasion.

We would love to recruit more members so that we can ring a wider variety of pieces so do please come along and have a go – you will be warmly welcomed! The ability to count (mostly just to 4) is really all that you need!!! As always my thanks to the team for their continued commitment, time, hard work and friendship. We continue to improve year on year.

Jill Glennerster - Hand Bell Director

ST PETER’S CHURCH

St Peter’s Church Choir

Our lovely choir at St Peters has continued to grow, and rose to the challenge of two Bob Chilcott carols at Christmas. It sounded really beautiful alongside the harmonies of the traditional carols, especially on Christmas Eve.

We have continued to learn and sing new traditional and modern hymns and gradually introducing them into services. We have been meeting during winter at my house, but will return to church for choir practices during the lighter ,warmer evenings.

We are always looking for new members to join us for fellowship and singing as regular singers or singing for special services . You will always receive a warm welcome so please come along. Andrea Stephens - Musical Director for St Peters

GENERAL PARISH REPORTS:

ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT – CHURCH OFFICE

The church office based in St Martin’s Church operates 9.30am to 12.30pm, Tuesday & Friday open to visitors and remotely Monday, Wednesday & Thursday.

I have been the parish administrator since October 2021 and have been working in co-operation with the Interim Minister, the Parish Wardens and other parish officers. I have maintained the administrator post, managing the administration relating specifically to the three Parish churches; their buildings, two churchyards, congregation members, general events and the Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down community at large.

As part of the general day-to-day activities, I have been responsible for administrating:

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 13

In addition to the above activities, I created and maintain Facebook pages for St Peter’s & St Martin’s Churches and a Parish Facebook Group for the Parish of Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down community to communicate and includes daily bible readings, the weekly service schedule and seasonal services. I create marketing materials for promoting our special services; on the web, for circulation by hand and sharing with other websites.

During the quiet periods since June 2023; I created an electronic Banns, Wedding, Christening & Confirmation Registers database for St Martin’s to facilitate faster searches. I then began duplicating this database for St Peter’s to also include the Burial and Churchyard Registers database and creating an electronic map for St Peter’s Churchyard for fast and efficient searches, funeral planning and families to locate distant relatives. St Peter’s Registers are still ongoing and will be followed by St Mary’s Registers. I am currently creating a database to simplify the billing, invoicing and reporting process across the Parish. Stephanie Lund - Church Administrator

FRIDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY GROUP

“All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship” ACTS 2:42

This Bible study group meets most Friday mornings, 10:15 – 12:15 pm. We sit around a table to read from the Word because this makes it easier for all members to hear and participate. As we are able, we try to “…come before Him with joyful songs” (Psalm 100:2) before a short time of prayer and delving into scripture. Refreshments and chat follow on afterwards.

This year we have welcomed one new member to our group, increasing our number to 9 regular attendees. We try to rotate the venues and meet in one another’s homes but as we increase in number our venue choices have been restricted due to limited space and we find that not everyone can host – a nicer problem to have!

Increasingly, the members have appreciated the value of the fellowship we enjoy and the prayer support offered. Urgent prayer requests are communicated, during the week, via our group WhatsApp. Extraordinarily, half the members have reached an “0” birthday in the last year and this has called for many celebratory meals out including one Picnic in the Park (Great Windsor) which was fun, if not cold!!!

Study topics over the last year have included:THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS

THE GOSPEL OF LUKE, which we are currently studying but this has been temporarily interrupted to bring focus to the period of LENT

LENT STUDY - A Passion for Christ written by Michael Baughen – a 6 week study guide for small groups

from the Cover to Cover series.

If anyone is interested in joining us on a Friday morning, please call 07752349909. Cynthia Lane

STILL WATERS FELLOWSHIP GROUP

“For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” Ephesians 4:5

Our Still Waters Group, which has been running on Zoom on 1st and 3rd Wednesday mornings of each month has been paused for the time being. We have been fortunate to have had Patrick leading and teaching us over the past few years, but now that he has moved over to Winnersh, it gives us the opportunity to take stock of where we currently are and decide how we move on from here.

Several of our group members have expressed a wish to carry on in some way, so we will be considering whether or not to continue meeting up on Zoom or at a suitable location, and we will also look for a new person to lead us. If anyone is interested in joining us or leading us or offering any suggestions that we can consider, please ring me on 01344 884498.

WC&CD Table Tennis Club

The table tennis club continues to be a significant outreach success, it is now well established on a Thursday night in St Martin’s Hall, members pay £2.50 per session (the first trial session is free) and we average 10 – 12 players per week, drawn

drawn from all ages across the whole parish, we welcome players of all abilities. The club funds have been used to sponsor a Christmas tree at the St Mary’s Christmas tree festival. The club is looking at either extend their sessions to 9pm or purchasing a second table (maybe both if there is sufficient demand). The tables are also available for use when the hall is hired.

WINKFIELD PARISH NEWS

Winkfield Cranbourne and Chavey Down Parish Magazine (a.k.a. the Parish Mag) Headlines

• The Winkfield Cranbourne and Chavey Down Parish Magazine, which is currently published on the website of the Friends of St Mary’s Winkfield www.fosmw.com/parishmag, is now considering resuming wide distribution on paper form.

• We also need someone to take over the editorship – and leadership – over the next year or two, to permit the magazine to be of long-term continuing service to our community. The Editors will provide sustained support and encouragement to anybody interested in this form f local journalism, for as long as it takes.

About the magazine

The Winkfield, Cranbourne and Chavey Down Parish Magazine is currently a monthly magazine and is published on the Web (see https://fosmw.com/parishmag/) on the second last Sunday of each month. Some paper copies are available for distribution in our three churches on the last Sunday of each month.

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

page 15

The content of the magazine is intended to be of general parish interest, with articles, reports and details of coming events, when available, coming from all three churches. The centre pages give details of all church services taking place in the next month and we often publish fliers for events taking place in the parish and surrounding districts.

Preparing and publishing

Preparing the Winkfield Parish News is a parish activity and, until his departure in November 2024, was led by Revd Patrick Mukholi. The magazine is not affiliated specifically to St Mary’s church, or the Friends of St Mary's Winkfield, although it is supported free of charge by a web-page on the Friends' website. Preparation of the News is a 100% voluntary activity and there is no regular source of income. The outgoings have been paid for by the PCC, and this makes it a truly Parish publication. However, the Winkfield Parish News is grateful to the Mercers Company of the City of London, which has provided a financial grant direct to the PCC and this funds the printing of paper copies. Unfortunately, that source of funds will not be available this year 2025.

The web distribution including advertising is supported by a parish mag web page, www.fosmw.com/parishmag/ and by the Parish Website

https://www.winkfieldandcranbourne.org.uk/welcome.htm which has a link to this web page right at the very top of the welcome page. The parishmag webpage also supports access to back-copies of the magazine (back to 2015) and carries generals details about its publication as well as fliers for local events. The contents are varied, and include reports of church activities around the Parish, including Birth, Marriage and Funerals reporting from the registers. In addition, we publish articles, many of which are written by local people, that will be interesting and possibly even useful or amusing, many on non-churchrelated matters. The magazine always concludes with a puzzle section, and a Picture Parable page (intended for children, but, we suspect, read by a much broader age-group).

Form of the Parish Mag

We would like the magazine to be printed in bulk in paper form in the near future, and distributed by volunteers to large numbers of people in our Parish, going to an audience broader than our regular Sunday church attendees. The size of this distribution must be big enough to attract paying advertisers. Discussions are ongoing about arrangements for paper circulation, and other details and progress will be reported in the magazine.

In order to make this happen, we will need volunteers around the parish who will take responsibility for the physical delivery of the magazine to houses within the parish, just as we had before Covid. It is likely that the magazine would become bimonthly to reduce the load on volunteers, when wide paper distribution has been re-established. The web format has allowed us to have graphics and pictures in colour, which livens up the mag a lot, and we hope that quality and attractiveness will be maintained by retaining colour in the paper form also.

Editorial

The editorial team try to maintain a useful standard of local reporting, with articles, including a leading article provided, in the past often by the minister, when we have one and, alternatively, by a selected or locally written article, deemed by the editor to be suitable and uplifting for our parishioners. With a bigger and more diverse parish readership, we will need to have more articles, possible with a larger editorial content, and this has primarily been provided in the past by people of the parish: volunteers writing enthusiastically about parish activities with which they are concerned. This will require a bigger editorial team. The current team are now in their 11[th] year of editorship, and it is high time for others to become involved, and, when ready, to take over the editorship.

The future

Over the last few years, the parish mag has just continued going ‘on automatic’, and it now needs a leader/editor who can take the magazine into a brighter future as a great local magazine. The current team, Margaret-Anne and Anthony Hodson are more than happy to give help, in any form, for this to

Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2025

happen, and will continue to provide professionals advice when needed, and any necessary supporting activity, to new team members, as may be required to launch into a new future. Please be in touch with the Anthony Hodson for any further information. Anthony Hodson aeh@xdotd.co.uk 01344 483347
