Newington's Commemoration to the Victims of the Somme

To mark the centenary of the start of the Battle of the Somme on July 1, a plaque remembering Newington's fallen in all wars was unveiled by parish council chair and Newington History Group (NHG) member Debbie Haigh.

Debbie is the great granddaughter of L/Cpl Henry Bishenden, of 1st Bn Queen's Own (Royal West Kent Reg), who was killed in an explosion on the Somme on September 3, 1916.

The plaque, provided by NHG, the Wickham Trust and Swale Borough Council, is situated among the poppies in the memorial garden under the village sign alongside the A2. Three villagers laid wooden crosses in memory of relatives.

The ceremony was attended by pupils from the primary school, who read a poem; representatives from the Buffs; WW1 funding representatives Martin Goodhew and Lyn Newton; County Councillor Mike Baldock; Swale Councillor John Wright; parish councillors; representatives from the Wickham Trust, allotment and history groups; the Rev Julian Staniforth and residents.

There was a two minutes silence and the playing of the Last Post.

Upchurch Village Fete 2016 by David Wood

Against a backdrop of The Paddock, a coconut shy, bowling for the pig, children’s fun activities and entertainment took place throughout the day. Not that much had changed at the Upchurch village fete since I last attended during the 1960s.

On a day when rain threatened but failed to materialise a surprisingly large number of people attended the event. That included familiar organisers from distant past fetes like Peter Boakes at the Horticultural Society tent, Don Diffey at ‘Bowling for the Pig,’ Mary Barden at the Women’s Institute tent and Jan Lacy at Uplift.

Activities were varied like ‘Beat the Goalie’ with an almost continuous flow of Upchurch Colt’s FC players lining up in their football club kit to shoot into the goal with amazing regularity. Toss a bail of straw, bowling for the Pig, a climbing wall and a coconut shy kept everyone occupied while visitors placed in the stocks had to suffer wet sponges thrown at them which created amusement for onlookers.

While Mickey the Magician from Sittingbourne entertained children with his fast talking, a range of tricks and an assortment of balloons made into various animals, maypole dancing by the guides and brownies, revived from early Upchurch fetes, added tradition to the event.

A display of birds of prey run by the Sky Bird of Prey Display Team created great interest as falcons periodically circled the Paddock and swooped down onto gloved hands, between the legs or seated lines of shocked looking adults while organiser Paul gave an informative running commentary. Owls were also used to follow instructions with the encouragement of meat. A demonstration of how to accurately use a hose pipe by the fire brigade also took place.

As Dave Neale and Alex Dollimore kept everyone informed of events on the sound system, vocal entertainment played a big part which began with the Holywell School Choir and also included The Syncopators Jazz Band beating out an almost continuous assortment of traditional jazz numbers from the Brown Jug beer tent. The Lynx also performed music and the Rock Choir impressed with the quality of their singing as they periodically took stage on the upraised platform at the far end of the Paddock.

An assortment of fund raising events for different village organisations included guessing the number of balloons in a car overseen by Pat New, a sale of cakes in the Women’s Institute tent, cream teas were offered by St Mary’s PCC and a raffle to win various prizes took place in the Darby and Joan tent. Ray Kemsley and the Parents & Friends of Holywell School offered refreshments and a barbecue.

Members of the police were on hand to advise and answer questions while Louis Newbery manned the Upchurch Matters tent to take village information, get to know villagers, post live photos of the fete on the website and sell Upchurch history books.

The fete finally ended with a tug-of-war competition which The Crown pub won in the main arena leaving organiser Sara Tucker and the fete committee happy with a very successful day made possible by a host of hard working volunteers and sponsors.
