Jackals and giraffes
At the church youth group in a previous parish, we once
had a visiting speaker who talked to us about jackals and
giraffes. No, we weren't preparing for a visit to the zoo.
This is merely a way of describing, understanding and en-
couraging non-violent communication and relationship. It
was developed by an American, Marshall Rosenberg, who
has used it all over the world, in schools, with New York
gangs and in international peace negotiations.
Jackals have narrow, beady eyes. They look for and see the worst in
people and situations. They have acute, pointed ears. They hear the
negative in whatever is said to them. They have snappy mouths with sharp
teeth. Their language is the language of criticism, judgmentalism,
antagonism.
The giraffe is the land mammal with the largest heart. Giraffes have
big, observant eyes. They look for and see the best in people and situations.
They have alert, mobile ears. They try to hear what is said to them without
judging. They have soft, gentle mouths. Their language is the language of
love; it is non-judgmental, balanced and responsive.
Which do you think you are? Jackal or giraffe? Most of us are a
mixture of both. With some people or in some situations we are probably
more one than the other. Rosenberg's work is to encourage people to
become aware of their own attitudes and reactions and to develop their
'giraffe' attributes.
Living in hope
I remember that we went from that youth group meeting into preparing a
Christian Aid service with the theme 'Live in hope'. Now usually we use that
phrase in a very 'jackal' way, to mean the opposite. For example, you might
say to me, "Do you expect many people to come to church on Sunday?" and I
might reply, "I live in hope!” That would be a jackal response because in
saying that, I mean that I actually have very little hope; I am assuming the
worst, both of the situation and of the other people involved. I am prejudging
events and individuals. That kind of response, felt within myself and
communicated to you, is unlikely either to encourage and motivate me, or to
inspire you and engage your interest.
Genuinely to 'live in hope', would reflect far more the outlook of
'giraffe' - expectant, perceptive, unprejudiced. Hopeful people look for
possibilities, however small. Hopeful people don't ask 'why?' but rather 'why
not?' Hopeful people dare to dream dreams and at the same time are
powerful realists who work to see how at least some of the dreams can
become actuality. They are people who believe: they believe in the breath of
God breathing life into dry bones; they believe in the Spirit of God opening
1 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018hearts and minds to hear a message of forgiveness and new beginnings; they
believe in the Son of God restoring life and health. And because of their hope
and belief, they offer themselves to be the channels of that breath, the
instruments of that Spirit, the followers of that Son.
(Our inner giraffe
Aid agencies and charities like Christian Aid, together with people who work
for reconciliation and peaceful settlements of conflict like Marshall Rosenberg,
are grounded in and sustained by this kind of hope and belief. They hope and
believe absurdly sometimes, in the face of overwhelming disasters, despite
persistent injustice, amidst the hate, greed and self-interest of the human
race. They continue to pursue the dreams though caught between the cruel,
the victims of the cruel and those whose cruelty is that of apathy and
indifference. They are giraffes who run amongst the pack of jackals, yet
refuse to join the hunt or share the kill.
Let us thank God for these people of hope and belief. Let us honour
them, pray for them and support them in any way we can. And, equally
importantly, let us search for the giraffe within ourselves, for our own defiant
hope and belief, that it might lead us in our turn to be peacemakers and
healers - those who resist evil, shine lights in the darkness and bring aid
wherever there is need.
If you would like to discuss anything in this letter, or just to have a chat over a
cup of coffee, do get in touch; I'd love to hear from you,
Sally.

Wonersh and Shamley Green Primary School
Reunion
The reunion was for children who attended during the 1980's, but it was
mainly their parents who came along to meet up again. It was nice to also
see families from Brighton and New Zealand whose children were at the
school during that time.
Many photos and newspaper cuttings were on display of the children and
teachers. Pictures of Tony Hart, who gave a lot of his time to the school
children, pancake races and May Queens and their attendants, were on
display. There were also some photos of the grown-up children with their
children. The school supplied a display of old pictures of school children
gardening and girls using sewing machines in the earlier part of the last
century.
It is hoped that another reunion could be planned for sometime next year for
any child who attended Wonersh and Shamley Green Primary School.

4 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018Shamley Green History Society
On a perfect summer’s day in June,16 members enjoyed a visit to
Ewhurst’s beautiful 12th Century Church. We heard about the formidable
restoration programme that was necessary and which the church has been
able to undertake with the help of lottery funding, reinforced by fundraising
efforts such as our visit. It was necessary to restore the roof and refurbish
the mechanism for the 8 historic bells, two of which, amazingly still in use
until recently, dated back to the 15th Century. These two being somewhat
out of tune have now been replaced but one of them remains in the tower
for us to admire and try tapping with a mallet, and we had a very interesting
talk about the technique of bellringing and learnt much about the early
history of the church, its unusual font and South Transept door amongst
many features. Sarah Balchin was our knowledgeable guide who showed
us round, aided by two expert bellringers, who gave us a demonstration
and rounded off the afternoon for us by providing tea and cakes. Our
donations went towards the restoration fund.
Summer in Shamley Green means it’s time for one of Michael’s Meanders,
and this year our Chairman Michael Harding is leading us on a walk along
the main road past the Primary School and Nursery Hill, with more tales
about the history of the village. Meet on Tuesday August 14th at 2.30
outside Quoin Cottage, on the corner of the Green opposite the shop, near
the village sign. As usual non-members are welcome to Michael’s walk.

Good Neighbourly Deed by Firs Lane Residents
For those of you that use the footpath which runs between Firs Lane &
Hullbrook Lane you will have noticed, as you can see in the photo, it has
recently been cleared.
This was not as you may think done by the
council but in fact by 2 residents of Firs Lane,
namely Nick & Charlotte Cumming.
The pair worked very hard to clear this &
disposed of not only the weeds but other
people’s dogs mess.
Now that they have done such a sterling job
can all users of the footpath (& of course with
all paths) ensure they pick up after their dog &
put it in a bin, as the council do not do this.
If you have a footpath near you that’s
overgrown, perhaps you too can help maintain
it & help keep our village beautiful. I am a
grateful user of the footpath. Marion Hibberd
5 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018Shamley Green Gardening Club
Garden Tour Summer 2018 Derbyshire
One coach with driver Brian, old friend, reliable driver and with endless
patience - tick. 54 keen and eager traveller/gardeners - tick. Sunshine - tick.
Danish pastries - tick. 5 days supply of quizzes - tick. We were ready to leave
for this year’s Gardening Club tour. We soon seemed to be at Calke Abbey,
built in 1704 on the site of a former priory for Sir John Harpur. The family name
changed to Harpur Crewe and the house remained in the family until the mid
20th Century when it began to decline. The Harpur Crewes were an eccentric
lot, from extreme recluses to fanatical collectors. It has been estimated that
around 30,000 items are on view – a very large number being stuffed animals
and birds; not everyone’s cup of tea but a valuable resource for study. The
National Trust actually markets this as an “un-stately home” but it is certainly
interesting as an example of life during a period of great social change. To
counteract the somewhat gloomy house there is a large and productive Physic
Garden and borders crammed with roses, at their best for our visit. A short
drive and we arrived at Makeney Hall Hotel our home for the next 5 days.
Day 2 - Next morning, sunny and warm and off to Cascades Gardens in
Bonsall. This private garden is built on the remains of an old corn mill at the
base of an almost sheer cliff face with a millrace, pond and old lead mine. The
energetic (or foolish ) members of the group elected to climb the cliff and
experience the wonderful view of the garden from the top, while others
wandered from seat to seat trying to guess the owner’s favourite spot for his
evening G and T. He was inspired to create the garden by a visit to a Zen
Buddhist monastery in Japan and the separate rooms of this garden with rock
formations, raked gravel and delicate planting schemes certainly echoed that
feel, although the delicious cakes provided might have been out of place! Even
with 6 weeks of dry weather the numerous rills and cascades were refreshing -
after heavy rain they must be awe-inspiring! Then it was time for one of the
week’s highlights – Chatsworth. The house, home to 16 generations of the
Cavendish family (and built by Bess of Hardwick – remember her) is
magnificent but also contains works of art from the Romans to Lucian Freud. It
would have been possible to have spent all afternoon inside but the extensive
gardens called and in the intensive heat it was lovely to stroll through the huge
rockery (Joseph Paxton) Rose and Cottage gardens and the shady woods. An
ice cream and a visit to probably the biggest National Trust shop in the UK
completed the day.
Day 3 – Sunny and hot! A short coach ride took us to Tissington Hall near
Ashbourne. This is a beautiful moderately sized manor house, built in 1609 by
Francis FitzHerbert, which has remained in the same family to this day. After a
talk on the history of the estate by the current owner Sir Richard FitzHerbert
(and an explanation about the young people who kept appearing from the
private quarters – it had been his daughter’s 18th birthday party the previous
evening!) members were given a comprehensive tour of this delightful house
and gardens. It took one brave soul to gently remind our enthusiastic guide
that there was a plant nursery just down the road that we were quite interested
6 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018in seeing.....! Most of the chocolate box Tissington village is owned by the
FitzHerberts - obviously hands on as Sir Richard then appeared assisting
Sir Richard (L) with the intrepid gardeners
in the village tearooms! Then to Ashbourne, another lovely town with a large
number of Georgian buildings and independent shops (worth missing lunch
for!) and on to Burrows Garden. This 5 acre garden had been
laid out originally by a dairy farming family but then expanded and
developed by the son Craig. He created a new temple garden with
reflection pool and installed statuary and fountains but primarily planted a lot
of unusual trees including a Wallemia Pine. Very sadly Craig died in 2015
leaving a wife and baby daughter. Since then his widow Nicky has almost
single handedly maintained an exquisite garden with colour and interest
throughout the year. She insisted that she wasn’t a gardener (but was
delighted when she could identify a lovely Shropshire Lad rose used as
hedging) but for a non gardener she has done an amazing job! The Burrows
garden was voted joint favourite by the members.
Day 4 - Hot and Sunny! Another short drive and we reached Thornbridge
Hall. The house is not open to the public but the 12 acres of formal gardens
7 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018are stunning and were voted joint favourite. Designed in the late 1800s to
create a vision of 100 shades of green, they are a fine example of Victorian
garden design. Visitors can enjoy a wonderful scented garden, herbaceous
borders, water gardens and grottos and admire the statuary, some of which
came from Greece (haven’t heard that they want those back) There is a
gravel garden to die for and then – the plant sales. An amazing range of
superb plants all watched over by two extremely helpful and knowledgeable
young gardeners. In fact SGGC probably cleared them of some species –
next time you walk around the village note how many Catalpa trees have
appeared....! Lunch in Bakewell, another very attractive Peak District town
(pudding or tart was a difficult decision), the journey continued onto Glossop
to visit the last garden of the day. On the approach to Simmondley, we could
see in the distance the raging fire on Saddleworth Moor, luckily far enough
away not to change our plans for the day.
When we arrived at High Roost, in the village of Simmondley, we were
greeted by delightful Peter & Christina Harris, owners of a youngish suburban
garden and members of the NGS since 2006. The garden was constructed in
2000-2001 and is 800ft above sea level on a sloping site with clay soil. They
overcame one of the many challenges by terracing the site to create a series
of different garden rooms which contained several water features for year-
round interest, creative focal points and beautiful herbaceous borders.
Christina admitted that her passion lay in her interest for container grown
succulents, of which she has many. It was a delightfully interesting garden
and after thanking our hosts we made ready for the exciting journey home to
our hotel. Starting at Glossop we set off on the famous Snake Pass to cross
the Pennines. On the way we were treated to the most wonderful and varied
scenery, white bog cotton verges, rolling hills, pine forests and of course the
beautiful Ladybower Reservoir at Ashopton. The end of another wonderful
day in Derbyshire.
Day 5 Always a sad day when we have to leave. Brian miraculously
managed to fit (most of) the plants and the luggage into the coach and we
headed for Hardwick Hall. This is the magnificent house built by the
Countess of Shrewsbury (Bess of Hardwick – remember?) after her 4th
marriage. A tour of this fascinating house and an excellent talk from one of
the guides drew all the Tudor history we had heard on previous days together.
Bess and her second husband Sir William Cavendish began a powerful
dynasty which is still in evidence today. She was a most remarkable woman
who played a large part in events of her time and from a very early age
refused to be deprived of what she believed to be hers. A final pleasant stroll
around the beautiful borders surrounding the house and it was time for the
return to the Arbuthnot Hall car park and the grand plant sort out!
And another huge thank you to Penny and Tony!

8 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018Goodbye to Montessori
When my husband and I moved to Shamley Green when I was pregnant with
our first child, word got around; “If you want the best preschool education for
your daughter, get yourselves on the Montessori preschool waiting list as
soon as she is born! It’s a fantastic school, staffed by experienced, caring
staff who pay attention to the needs and abilities of each child - but it is over-
subscribed.”
Our daughter Isabel enjoyed her time at preschool. The nurturing, calm
environment was the perfect start to her education, and we loved being able
to walk to it daily. When Isabel moved to WSG Primary, she did so with a
group of familiar preschool children.
Time has flown and our son Daniel has just finished his time with Miss Shirley
and her wonderful team. Another young life given the best possible start, for
which we will always be grateful.
But sadly things have changed now and we have seen a drop in birth rate and
an associated decline in attendance at preschool. Miss Shirley has taken the
difficult decision to close her school after July and the fantastic staff team will
benefit other nurseries and preschools around Surrey.
There are certain basic amenities that we all agree a village needs to thrive.
An affordable village preschool that gives each child a thriving start to their
education is one of them, which is why many of us are mourning the closure
of our special Montessori preschool. Alice Bounsall-Hughes

12 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018Things you are unlikely to hear in church
“Excuse me, but it’s my turn to sit in the front pew.”
“I was so enthralled that I never noticed the sermon went 25 minutes over
time.”
“Personally, I find witnessing about my faith much more enjoyable than golf.”
“I’ve decided to give the church the £200 a month I’ve been spending on
fashion.”
“I shall volunteer to be a permanent teacher for the Sunday School class.”
“Forget about the agreed stipend, let’s pay our ministers so they can live like
we do.”
“I love it when we sing hymns I’ve never heard before.”
“Pastor, we’d like to send you to a Bible seminar in the Bahamas.”
“Nothing inspires me more than our annual stewardship campaign.”
Can you spare a few hours on a Wednesday,
once a month?
The Villages Wednesday Club (formerly the Four Villages Day Centre) needs
volunteers: we run from 9am to 3pm every Wednesday at Blunden Court in
Bramley, giving local elderly people a friendly day with morning coffee, lunch,
afternoon tea, activities, exercises, etc.
If you would like to help, we are looking for people to do either a morning or
an afternoon session. You would be chatting to our members, serving
refreshments and lunch, selling raffle tickets, generally giving a hand with
whatever is needed!
We’re a friendly bunch of people and volunteering with the Villages
Wednesday Club isn’t just work, it’s also a nice sociable time. We ask our
volunteers to commit to one Wednesday a month, and there is a rota
system enabling you to swop your shift with someone else if need be. For

13 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018Village Cricket Match 2018
First, a disclaimer, I know nothing about cricket. The complex scoring system
goes over my head, as it were. This lack of knowledge could be said to be at the
heart of what is unique about the Shamley Green Village cricket match (known
to many as the Village Idiots match). For one game of the season (usually the
Saturday after the Village Fête) the teams are compromised of players, who
what they may lack in technique, they make up for in enthusiasm. The only
requirement is a willingness to take part, and perhaps make some new friends.
It hardly seems necessary to mention scores for a friendly match, but for fans of
statistics and data they were 149 and 146, with both teams bowling 30 overs. I
won’t single out any individual players, but as with all events it truly takes a
village to put these things together. From arranging the hall and teams, to the
provision of the exceptional cricket tea, well done to everyone involved.
Look out for notices next year when the call for volunteers will be issued. It will
be the 25th anniversary of the match. The teams are open to everyone, and for
the first time this year there was a woman playing on one of the sides. Hopefully
next year more of Shamley Green’s cricket maidens will be bowling overs. See
the front cover for the cricketers in action. Tara Alner

Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst
This year’s Summer Outing was to the Military Academy at Sandhurst, world
renown as a Military Academy and training ground of famous statesmen and
rulers such as Winston Churchill, King Hussein of Jordan (who was referred to
as ‘Mr. King’ by the parade Sargent Major) and his son the current King
Abdullah II, not forgetting the Princes William and Harry.
We were greeted by a guide and escorted to the College where refreshments
were served in the Wellington Room, with its magnificent painting of that
famous battle.
Being a small group we were joined by the Harding family from Reading/
Perth, Australia in the UK visiting relatives, their brother having attended the
academy in 1957.
After an introduction from our two knowledgeable guides, both ex Sandhurst
cadets, we visited other important rooms and learned about cadet profiling,
selection and training, followed by a visit to the History Room and the grand
entrance hall where the Adjutant enters on horseback after the passing out
parade. Apparently this ‘tradition’ only goes back to 1927 when the rain was
so heavy the then adjutant decided he was not going to get soaked riding all
the way back to the stables, taking the
shortest most convenient route through
the Academy front door, thus a new
‘tradition’ was established.
Apparently the Academy was
th
established in the late 18 century
when it was realised our ‘officers’,
members of privileged families who
purchased their commissions, were
predominantly useless and required
training. Initially based at Woolwich
Arsenal it subsequently moved to
Marlow and finally Sandhurst in 1947.
It was soon explained how valuable it
was to have so many foreign officers
trained here, when subsequently
having to work with them in various
operational theatres, having been to
the same ‘school’ providing valuable
political and diplomatic connections.
Visiting the souvenir shop the Academy Sergeant Major came to greet us - all
6'3" amazingly handsome and impeccably dressed, pressed and presented.
You could hear the swoons!
18 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018We were also able to observe several groups, including the Pakistani army
team, in last-minute practice for the International Pace Stick Competition
taking place within a day or two. This involves a team of three drill instructors
marching in complete unison whilst twisting their pace sticks in set piece
patterns. Whilst now used to set marching paces, Pace Sticks originate from
the early days of artillery when used to set the distance between guns to
maximise firing efficiency.
We also visited the Roman Catholic Chapel and then the Royal
Memorial Chapel, a memorial to all cadets who had died in conflict, each
individually named under their respective Regimental roll of honour.
After a quick photocall on the steps of the Royal Memorial Chapel we were
escorted back to our minibus after being told three Passing Out parades and
tours are open to the public via www.sandhursttrust.org .
Homeward bound we stopped at the Crown & Cushion for a most enjoyable
lunch Cherry Le Gray
In Praise of our Village Shop
Our village has a magnificent church, two terrific pubs, a breathtaking cricket
green, a great village hall and now to complete the picture a completely
revamped village shop.
The shop is owned and run by Damien and Kerry White, a young South
African couple who have been in England for 14 years. They also run the
village store in Ewhurst.
As all of us in the village have been aware the building work has taken a little
while, but now we have a truly transformed village shop.
They have long produced better croissants than you can find in France and
have now expanded their range by leaps and bounds. (Look out Aldi)
Damien and Kerry have clearly committed a lot of capital to this expansion
and we all hope they will prosper and be rewarded for the considerable
investment they have made in our community.
Instead of our slavish pilgrimage to Waitrose or M and S ,we could use this
friendly facility, enjoy more involving personal shopping and perhaps by
buying locally and more frequently cut down on the food wastage that we
read of so often in the press.
A flourishing shop supports an essential post office- where would we be
without these two village first class facilities. As the "Yanks" say......Use it or
lose it.....and it deserves all our support, from which we will all benefit.
Peter Flood.

Are you being hurt or controlled by someone you love? Citizens Advice Waverley is here to help Domestic abuse is the misuse of power and control by one person over another. It is rarely a one-off event and tends to escalate in frequency and severity over time. You may be experiencing abuse even if your abuser is never violent. Under the 2015 Serious Crime Act it is an offence to exercise coercive control over a partner or family member. Coercive control may include emotional and verbal abuse such as pressure tactics, harassment, being constantly shouted at or being isolated from family and friends, or financial abuse like withholding money, forcing you to take out loans, not allowing you to earn your own money, or the constant monitoring or questioning of your finances. Domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, income levels or ability. It may surprise you to know that Surrey has some of the highest domestic abuse rates in the country. Of those reporting abuse to the Surrey domestic abuse outreach services 78% are suffering emotional abuse, which often goes unrecognised. Financial abuse may be difficult to see too but it can be one of the strongest and most effective tools that an abusive partner has. If you, or someone you know, is experiencing domestic abuse Citizens Advice Waverley can help. You can call us on 0344 848 7969 for free, confidential, independent and impartial advice or by visiting www.waverleycab.org.uk or national Citizens Advice on www.citizensadvice.org.uk. 22 Shamley Green Parish Magazine August 2018

Time for a Smile
Some people come into your life as
blessings, while others come as
lessons.
Think like a person of action and
act like a person of thought.
Think once before you speak, twice
before you act, and three times
before you post on Facebook..
I am really easy to get on with, once
people agree to see things my way.
