ROY HONE'S 90TH BIRTHDAY - AUGUST 2018 - Whiteley Village
A NOTE FROM TERRY
    At our July WVRC meeting, it was discussed, at length by
    Agnes Field and the Committee, the fact that malicious
    gossip in the Village was affecting certain residents more
    than others. My take on this, (no excuse), is that people
    of a certain age and living In each other’s pockets, not
    having a great deal to keep themselves busy, will form
    close relationships with those of a like mind, who will talk
    (gossip). Although this is not acceptable, it happens!
    We all live a decent comfortable life in a delightful village
    and we all need our neighbours and friends, although we may not be aware of
    the upset caused. It can take ‘two to tango’ unless you can’t say anything nice,
    don’t rock the boat by upsetting the more vulnerable Villagers.
    Terry Pottinger (Chairman WVRC)
    P.S. Hope you are all enjoying the hot summer.

GOOD LUCK TO LIZZIE
FROM HOBBS!
Everyone who attends the Monday afternoon exercise
classes run by Lizzy from Hobbs will agree that not only
are the exercises good for us but that we have fun at the
same time.
Lizzy has proved to be the perfect match for us all, her
gentle caring approach has made going to her classes an
absolute pleasure, so everyone was delighted for her, and
husband Ben, when she announced she would be off on
maternity leave in July.
Everyone contributed to giving her a send-off present
for the expected arrival. Not knowing if the little one was
a girl or boy we had great fun selecting lemon and white
items which we surprised her with on her final day.
Good luck Lizzy, be sure to bring your little bundle to
visit us, we will miss you.

               as a committee member of the Golf Club and score
               keeper at Quiz Night.
               Roy was born in Acton W3 and attended school
               at Strand on the Green, although he maintains his
               real education only started when he signed up at
               the age of 18 with the RAF, and was trained as an
               engineer. When he left the RAF he started his own
               engineering company. He then married and went
               into the retail trade.
               Roy retained his ties with the RAF, as a Director
               at their headquarters in Chiswick. This year is
               the celebration of the RAF and a tribute to this
               was a display in London. We were very lucky to
               observe some of the aircraft that flew over the
               Village involved in this event. The Spitfire is Roy's
               favourite.

GIVE BACK DAY
On Friday 29th June, 21 students from Claremont Fan
Court School came to the village to undertake some
voluntary work with us. The students visited Ingram House
and Huntley House where they sang songs, performed
piano recitals and played games, whilst another group
painted the steps in Section B. The students ended the day
partaking in the Village’s fundraising walk for Macmillan
Cancer.
We would like to thank all the teachers and pupils for
giving up their time to create such a fabulous day. It was a
marvellous way to give back and we hope all the residents

 CAFE CHURCH
 Last month’s Cafe Church saw us
 in animated discussion over how
 we viewed God. Along with video
 clips showing the magnificence and
 vastness of the universe, we saw how
 small we are by comparison; and yet,
 the bible tells us that God knows how
 many hairs are on each of our heads.
 August’s Cafe Church is on
 Wednesday 1st August @ 2:45pm
 so come and join us over coffee and
 cake.

 Pastors Keith & Carol Hartogh

SOMETIMES I DOUBT
Sometimes, I have doubts about my faith.
Unfortunately, the doubts do not bring
me an inner peace. When the feast day
of St Thomas the Apostle came in July, I
had a look at them.
“Doubting Thomas” we call him, but are
we missing the point?
A week before appearing to Thomas,
Jesus had appeared to His other dear,
terrified Apostles. The first thing that
Jesus did was to show them His hands
and His side, the marks of His cruel
crucifixion. Why? Why the need to show
them his wounds? Jesus dearly loved His
friends. He understood their doubts and
need for proof.
But His dear Thomas, the one who had
witnessed Jesus’ raising of Lazarus
from the dead, was missing. When the
Apostles arrived so full of joy to tell him
the Good News, Thomas was unable to
believe them. People don’t come alive
again after they die. So he says, “Unless
I see for myself the holes that the nails
made in his hands and put my finger into
those holes…..” (Jn. 20:24-28)                ELMBRIDGE
And so Jesus returns to search him out
personally, as He does each one of us
                                              HEALTHY WALKS
when we doubt. He invites His friend to
touch His wounds. We will never know                          Thurs 2 August 11-12.15
whether Thomas actually touched Jesus.                        Karen
All we know is he was healed of his                           Sun 19 August 11-12.15
doubts and declared, “My Lord and My                          Karen
God!”
Now Thomas is also filled with joy and
dashes off to spread the Good News. In
fact he dashes off as far as Syria and        Mon 10 Sept 10.30-11.30
India where he is eventually killed for his   Karen
faith.                                        Fri 28 Sept 10.30-11.30
Maybe that is why I like to stay in my        Karen
doubts. To believe can be costly!
