Yesterday (Sunday), a representative from Christian Aid spoke at the morning services at All Saints, the United Reformed Church and Staplehurst Free Church, describing how Christian Aid, working through a local partner organisation, had been able to help people in a remote area of Sierra Leone, which had been devastated by the civil war in that country, to grow more food for themselves, rebuild their village school and plan for the future of their own community.]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 12:53:46 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1660 Mon, 14 May 2012 11:13:12 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1660 Mon, 14 May 2012 11:12:18 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1655

The main page of the Forum displays the strings with the last three postings. Once an item you are following becomes fourth or lower it is only visible once you click on the ‘see all threads’ link on the right.
Moving out of the top three does not place it in any archive.
Now what did happen is a little bit of housekeeping. Whilst this forum is closely monitored for postings, correcting the locations of strings get done as and when we get time on a pc.
There were various strings in Latest News that should have been in ‘Have Your Say’ and vice versa.
I suggest that me moving a post out of ‘Latest News’ promoted the string you commented on into third and showing it on the front screen again.
Nothing untoward going on. Splitting the Forum into four sections was requested back in 2010. We try...]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 14:52:46 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1655
There is a notice near Fishers Farm to say keep pets and kids away from the stream. I would add that in my opinion they should also completely avoid the woods next to the railway line crossing by Fishers Farm as there seems to be a marked build up in the ponds here - you can tell by the red colour.

No idea as to whether this will be around for weeks or months (or years?) at the moment. I expect MBC will update at some point.]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 12:08:41 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1653

I knew Richard and his parents (who lived at Sissinghurst) for over 40 years, Richard was the locum for our doctor when I was a child, and in adulthood, he was my locum gp when I was expecting my first child,he was honest, caring and could not have been a better doctor. To this day I remember him being honest and trustworthy, more so than the hospital, my daughter died at five days old,Richard knew there was something wrong. In those days over 30 years ago he understood what was going on. I am glad he has been recognised as a valued member of this village.]]> Mon, 07 May 2012 21:23:43 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1652 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:06:19 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1653 Mon, 07 May 2012 19:39:19 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1653 Mon, 07 May 2012 12:44:32 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1658 Mon, 07 May 2012 11:42:20 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1658
I can only imagine what long-term residents of Staplehurst feel about what is happening. I have only been here a few years and am dismayed by the effect that property development - both amateur and professional - is having, particularly the seemingly inexorable (and irreversible) conversion of anything and everything into high-density housing "units".

Part of me wants to issue a "call to arms", a summons to resist, but in my heart I know that the majority of people don't give a toss. We live in a world of wall-to-wall block paving where only short-term personal convenience matters.

When the bulldozers go in to the Village Centre - either to clear it for housing or, more likely, for its replacement by an ersatz, prefab, "more fit for purpose" replacement - then I will truly know that the future lies elsewhere.]]> Mon, 07 May 2012 09:44:59 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1658

This was the gift of the family of the late Dr. Richard Skinner, a former popular General Practitioner in Staplehurst, and a man who devoted much of his time to the residents of the Cheshire Home. For many years Richard was the Volunteer Coordinator and was the friend of all the residents.

A ribbon, placed across the entrance to the gazebo, was cut by Mrs. Shirley Skinner who was accompanied by her daughter Caroline and son Timothy with his partner Karen. The building will be used as a comfort area for the residents of Sobell Lodge.

Many friends of Sobell Lodge, together with staff members and families of residents, were at the opening ceremony which was followed with a buffet lunch.]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 18:45:14 GMT http://www.staplehurstvillage.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1656
