The regular Wigboroughs vs Peldon cricket (and other diverse activities) day taking place at Elmdale by kind permission of Steve & Sue Copeland.
With the centenary year of the start of the Great War coming close to its conclusion the Friends are hosting a WW1 themed quiz to be held in St. Stephen’s Church – quizmasters Mick & Alison Biegel.
He was also very learned about Beatrix herself, telling us that it took 10 years to get her first book published, the first one she actually paid for herself. She had spent a lot of her holidays in the Lake District having visited it first when she was 16. In 1905 she bought Hill Top Farm and had it renovated. She married the local solicitor, William Heels in 1913 when she was 47. During her lifetime she bought 15 farms and over 4,000 acres of land which she left to the National Trust. In accordance with her wishes, Hill Top Farm has been kept exactly as it was and receives thousands of visitors a year. It was another fascinating talk with fantastic photography.
PAWS next get together is on 25th March and is actually the A.G.M., therefore it is a closed meeting. Currently membership is full but visitors are very welcome at any other meeting at the cost of £3.50 which includes refreshments.

Chairman’s Report – February 2014
At the Annual General Meeting in 2012 the community agreed in principle that the site of the old Village Hall in School Lane should be sold. The Committee is in the process of registering the land and has lodged an outline planning application for two three-bedroomed houses on the site.
The residents of the Wigboroughs and the Charity Commission both have to give final approval before the sale can take place.
The outline planning application can be seen on the Colchester Borough Council website www.colchester.gov.uk. The application number is 132631.
It should be noted that a new owner of the land may seek to vary any approved outline planning application and that the Management Committee will then have no control over any changes which CBC may agree.

Another story involved an old spinster who lived in Wallflower Cottage in a little village. He was curious about the name of the cottage, and after several visits discovered the reason. The lady had been engaged to a man in her early years until she discovered that he had several ‘girl friends’ and was very annoyed; unfortunately he died very suddenly before they could get married, but not before he had willed everything he had to his fiancé. After his death she bought the cottage and had lived there happily for many years. She then slipped into the conversation with John Lilley that the oil of wallflowers was a deadly poison in the correct amount. He put two and two together and made a swift visit to the police to tell all!
The stories and poems that John read were very amusing and told with great expression and feeling. We all agreed that we should invite this charming gentleman another time to tell us more stories.
Our next get together is on 25th February when D. Chignall will talk to us about Beatrix Potter & The Lake District. Currently membership is closed but visitors are very welcome at the cost of £3.50 which includes refreshments.

There was no meeting in December but instead on Tuesday 10th December 42 members met at the Coast Inn, West Mersea for the PAWS Christmas dinner, which certainly was a lovely way to set off the Christmas festivities. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and very welcoming. Between eating our three course meal, we had a Christmas quiz and a raffle, which everyone enjoyed, in fact, they all agreed that it had been a fantastic evening. Going home was a little slow as there was very thick fog but thankfully we all did so safely.
Happy New Year to all our members and loyal visitors. Our next get together is on 14th January when our speaker J. Lilley is the “Storyteller”.

Our November speaker was David Ryan, who from an early age, had always had a passion for cooking. He started out at the age of 16 with Brian Turner at the Connaught Hotel in London. As an apprentice he spent 18 months preparing potatoes! In the early seventies he decided his destiny was France. He was lucky, he shared a flat with a French friend who managed to secure him an entry into the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. After spending weeks labouring for long hours with no pay he was in a state of despair. One day he was walking along the Promenade Anglais worrying about his future when someone tapped him on the shoulder. It turned out to be David Niven who came to his rescue, marched him back to the Carlton and sorted out his predicament with the Manager and the Chef. The Chef took him under his wing and two brilliant years followed.
He came back to London and was taken on by the Dorchester. One particular memory was when David Niven hired the Dorchester for an after film party. He didn’t forget his friend and asked David to come up from the restaurant, leave the kitchen and join the party. During his stay at the Dorchester he met and became friendly with several members of the cabinet and even got to meet the “Big Fish” Maggie Thatcher! He had always wanted to have his own restaurant and finally realised his dream in Bournemouth, practically on the beach! It became so popular bookings were made two years in advance. David as a Masterchef now runs a restaurant in Horley near Stowmarket where he also takes masterclasses. It was a fabulous evening where we all enjoyed the lovely soup David prepared for us. He gave us lots of advice on cooking Turkeys and making stuffings etc and lots of tips, for example soaking avocado face down in milk to prevent it from going brown! Happy cooking!!
Our next get together is on 14th January (early due to the pantomime) when our speaker will be J. Lilley and the talk is called “Storyteller”. Visitors are welcome at the cost of £3.50.
