Event Review
                   Robin Hood and the Sherwood Hoodies
It was Showtime in Sherwood big time early in February as the Craven Players’
Panto shone a spotlight on Robin Hood. The show was a riot; the audience barely
having time to catch their breath between one
                                                               Photo by Millie Turner
gag and the next. After Billy Giggleswick set the
scene Nurse Gerty Gusset- every gorgeous inch a
pantomime dame - and the villagers opened the
show with aplomb but it wasn’t long before the
wicked Sheriff of Nottingham spoilt their fun with
a demand for taxes.
Meanwhile, in the forest - like the players in a
Midsummer Nights Dream - The Hoodies
( a shimmering Dancing Dave, Much Muscles,
gentle Alan a Dale and Friar Tuck ) were
rehearsing their knock-em-in-the-aisles
swashbuckling dance routine. These merry men in tights, acting with bags of
swank and sparkle, were led by one Robin - every inch an actor bent on
stardom who had been nominated (twice) for an Oswald and made a dazzling
Principal Boy - with an arch vanity that stole our hearts. Even when Maid Marion
beseeched the Hoodies to toughen up their act Guy of Gisbourne; defeated both
Big and his puppet, Little John by the logic that once robbed he was now poor.
                  After the interval: ice-creams, a raffle and a ride through the
                  glen with a wandering minstrel we found the swashbuckling
                  swordsmen ready to play it for real as the fair Maid Marion
                  had been abducted by Grabbit and Bolt. Even the Nurse, with
                  creaky shoes, was prepared to go commando. The Hoodies
                  and their crack shot Will - I shot the Sheriff - Scarlet found
                  themselves ‘special guests’ of Gavin Gutwrencher and his
                  scary sidekick, Genghis, who happily invaded the Hoodies
  Hannah, aged
  5, the youngest personal space with feather dusters and a lethal mangle that
  cast member,    made a flatmate out of the Sheriff. But a bullseye on King
  Photo by Millie John’s regal bum scored by willing Will Scarlet with his trusty
  Turner
                  long bow won the day and an androgynous Robin, clearly
bound for Hollywood, gained her Oswald for her heroic stance so everyone was
happy.
Many congratulations to the production team: the director, the music and the
cool, finger- snapping choreography of the songs and dances by Villagers, Scouts
and Merry Men, the lighting and sound, the sets and all those who helped to
make this a show to remember.

Bottreaux Surgery
Report by Annie Robinson
From the Patient Participation Group.

Patients should be aware that adverts for off-site pharmacies,
such as Pharmacy2U, that are coming through our letterboxes
now are detrimental to our surgery at Boscastle. Using the
Bottreux pharmacy brings an income to our surgery.
Funding has been applied for an update of the patients’ toilet at
Boscastle and the surgery at Tintagel.
A new exercise class has started in Tintagel, similar to the
Monday morning class at Crackington Institute.
The two new GPs are settling in and Paramedic Kirsty Strong is
working on Monday and Friday mornings.
Prescription service at Crackington.
You can phone 07932003126 to see if your prescription has
arrived when volunteers are in the Snooker Club.
There have been a few delays but thanks to volunteers and the
members of the Snooker Club, who make us so welcome, the
service is working well.
Here are a few ideas that may help keep deliveries on time:
Please get repeat prescriptions in early - don’t leave it til the last
minute.
Please make sure prescriptions are at the Snooker Club by 12.45
if you need it to go that day.
To register for the text messaging service give the receptionist at
the surgery your mobile number.
Also please note that new members are always welcome to join
the Patient Participation Group. For further information or to
volunteer please contact Janey Comber on 01840 230497,
or Annie Robinson on 01840 230584

Henry Boettinger
           3rd December 1924 - 8th January 2020
Eulogy from Carol Cook.
Henry was born in Baltimore, Maryland on 3rd December 1924 to Jacob
and Mae who were 2nd generation immigrants from Germany. He was the
oldest of four children. Henry had many fond memories of his childhood
and talked of performing with his family, particularly his sister, in Music
Halls across the neighbourhood. Encouraged by his father, he took up the
violin, which was replaced in later life by the cello.
Henry was educated by the priests at Mount St Joseph’s school in
Baltimore and told many a story about early mornings and testing regimes
as well as being an altar boy! During that time, he worked during the
summer at the Wilkins Brush factory as a post boy. When he was 18 he
won a scholarship to the prestigious John’s Hopkins University studying as
an electrical engineer. To fund his education, he was given the job of
lighting the lights on the campus. He also worked as a caddy at the local
Chevy Chase golf club and it was this here that he developed his lifelong
love of golf.
His education was interrupted by the invasion of Pearl Harbour and
America’s entry into World War Two. He joined the US Army Air Force and
flew as a navigator. At the end of the war, he stayed in Japan until 1946 to
help them to build them a radio station.
On his return to the States, Henry resumed his education at
Johns Hopkins and completed his studies earning a Bachelor of Science in
Electrical Engineering. On completion, he secured a job with AT&T with
whom he stayed for the rest of his working career ending up as Senior
Vice President of Research.
In 1948 he married Dorothy with whom he had a daughter, Ellen.
Sadly, the marriage ended in divorce.
Having written a book about success in business (Moving Mountains),
Henry was invited to lecture at the Oxford School of Management. He was
keen to visit England, particularly because Ellen was already at school
here. It was around this time that he first met Shirley, a teacher at the
school, with whom he shared the rest of his life until her death in 2016.
After a year in New York, Henry and Shirley moved to Gentle Knight in
Crackington Haven where they enjoyed many years.

Henry Boettinger                cont’d from page 14

Henry and Shirley very quickly threw themselves into life in Cornwall.
Henry joined St Gennys Band, with whom he played the tuba. His musical
contributions continued when he joined Bude Symphony Orchestra with
whom he played his cello for many years. After a few years, they took on
the St Gennys Gazette and kept it going for 25 years, Henry as the printer
and Shirley as editor. Gazette deadline time always brought with it huge
activity at Gentle Knight with Henry busily inking up the machine waiting
for his “copy” from Shirley. Henry was a keen supporter of the snooker
club which he helped to build and loved to join in with the social activities
that took place there.
His sense of community spirit even led him to take to the stage once to
help the Craven Players out!
In the wider Cornwall community, he was always willing to contribute as
much as he could. In the kind words of Jonathan Ball, “[Henry] played a
defining role in Cornwall securing the Eden Project award from the Millen-
nium Commission. In the development of the philosophy he brought gravi-
tas to our story line and has his own file in my own Eden Project archive”.
Henry always had time for people, particularly his grandchildren and the
house often became a meeting place for them and their friends where
Henry would help with a homework project or building idea that they
would bring to him. The trebuchet and the motorised car were particular
favourites.
                                  Whatever the age, Henry loved to hear
                                  about people’s projects and to help with
                                  practical and academic problems.
                                  Henry will be remembered as a scholar, a
                                  wry humourist, a pipe smoker and an
                                  eccentric by all those who knew him. His
                                  love for his adopted country was
                                  complete and he adored the English and
                                  all their quirks and foibles.
                                  His departing will leave an unfillable hole
                                  in the hearts of his family.
                                  Henry is irreplaceable.

Crackington Village Shop News
An important role of a community shop is the social side of things… many
people commented on this in the survey we completed... How they missed
wandering up to the shop, having a chat and feeling part of the village…
And so we intend to have a small social area; a table, some chairs, tea,
coffee and maybe a snack, to facilitate a natter. However, whilst we
establish the shop as a business and the building it will inhabit, we want to
recreate some of that socialising. We are very lucky to have a village hall
with such good facilities, and how well-used the Institute is stands as
testimony to this fact. Some of you may have already attended our
Christmas Gathering in December and our Croissant Breakfast in January
here. We’re totally overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm we’re
receiving - so far £354 in total has been donated and many words of
encouragement!
The donations cover any costs of the events, have paid for the cost of the
survey carried out in December and has paid outright for our membership
to the Plunkett Foundation. This membership greatly reduces the price of
setting up the business and comes with free business support so is very
important for the shop. Thank you!
We have chosen mainly Fridays and now lunchtimes for the events, to
complement the Prescriptions service already running from the Snooker
Club three times a week, and coincide with the Post Office Mobile van slot
in support of this important village service. However there will be weekend
events so that those of you working or at school can come too.
We’re pleased to say that the programme of events extends to April so
far…and will continue throughout the year:
Cheese tasting on Friday 20th March 12.30-2.30pm, and
Easter Fun on Saturday 11th April, programme to be confirmed.
All details will be found on our Facebook page, in the Gazette, as well as
being posted on our new website - www.crackingtonvillageshop.co.uk
We have been conscious that there are questions, thoughts… and even
rumours (!) about the shop and so we are trying to open all channels to
keep you informed and give you a method to contact us. So now the
Crackington Village Shop website is live. Here you will find background
information on the shop, monthly progress reports and quarterly project
overviews.

We hope to see you soon

              DELABOLE METHODIST CHURCH 10.30a.m.
Some 10 years ago now, it was suggested that it would be nice to get
together as a large group for worship and fellowship, rather than the small
groups we meet in, so started the twice a year services that I prepare,
one in Advent and one in Lent.
The service this year is entitled ‘The Extra-Ordinary Weekend’, looking at
the events from after the Passover meal to the Resurrection, through the
eyes of a reporter.
The offering is for the Merlin M.S. Centre.
We finish with a Hot Cross Bun, Tea/Coffee and lots of chat.
Everyone is most welcome including men and children, do join us.

A Methodist Ministers view
All of the Month of March this year falls within the Season of Lent, which
officially starts with Ash Wednesday on 26th February.
The thought of Lent sparks various ideas in peoples minds such as Lent
Courses, and giving up something for Lent. I have known people who have
given up such things as Cream Cakes, Chocolate, cigarettes or alcohol for
Lent. Often the ‘giving up’ is because people recognise a problem which
they need to tackle, and Lent becomes the convenient ‘reason’. However,
we do not always have to give something up for Lent, instead we can do
’something extra’. I came to this idea of doing ‘something extra’ when the
Christian Aid Lent leaflet came in the post. The leaflet invites us to read a
’50 word’ thought for each day of Lent based around the experiences of a
family in Kenya.
Following each thought there is a suggested action for the day some of
which invite us to make a contribution to the work of Christian Aid. For
example, one suggestion is that we give 20p for every tap which we have
in our houses. Water on tap is so much easier than walking 5 miles to get
some as is the experience of many overseas. Of the 40 days in Lent only 17
of the suggestions invite us to give small amounts of money to aid the
plight of others, and of course that is optional.
I am attracted to this idea for Lent because it gives me the opportunity of
thinking about the life and family situation of a young couple in Kenya who
have been affected by drought and climate change. At one stage in their
experience they were without food because they could not grow crops, so
as well as being hungry there was no income to enable them to send their
children to school. Learning of their experience will be both harrowing and
challenging when we consider how blessed we really are with the provision
and opportunities we have. I have ordered some additional leaflets,
including some for children, and will happily get one to you if you want to
share the ‘Lent’ experience – just give me a ring on 01840 214818. I hope
I have to order more leaflets!
Meanwhile, ponder again on how blessed we are.
Every blessing,
Bryan Ede
P.S. At Delabole Methodist Church we have a visit from the celebrated
Holman Climax Male Voice Choir on Sunday 8th March at 7.30p.m.
Everybody is welcome to share in this feast of music with us.
The concert will be preceded by a Songs of Praise at 6.p.m.

Report from Ellen Hawley
Again, the Food Bank send many thanks.
After all the money the village raised for the Bude Food Bank in November
and December, one more donation came in and I dropped it by in January.
I want to relay the food bank’s deep thanks to the village for all the support
people have given.
In December alone, the food bank helped keep 534 adults and 625 children
fed, handing out 6,765 kilos of food. The need, unfortunately, is ongoing,
and when I last looked at its Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/
FoodBankBude/), stocks were low. If anyone wants to make a donation,
there’s a collection box at Morrison’s (and if memory serves, at Sainbury’s),
but not, unfortunately, at Lidl’s. Or you can make a cash donation, either
one-time or ongoing, at https://www.budefoodbank.org.uk/donate/. Giving
cash allows them to buy whatever they’re most in need of as well as cover
the food bank’s own bills.
Again, they send many thanks.
