Parish Council Magazine
Your Parish Council is pleased to present
Issue Two of the Parish magazine to you and
your family.
This is not an ad-mag and contains a
mixture of articles about our community
and the things and organisations that work
within the community to make Kelvedon
such a brilliant place to live, work and play.
In August we have, as a community,
(through various means) commemorated the

instructions issued by the Parish Council
in March 1914 are enclosed. The routes
indicated are still easily recognisable!!

The Girl Guide Movement is celebrating its centenary this year and we are pleased to
include an article about the six groups of Guides, Brownies and Rainbows that operate
within Kelvedon and Feering. The accompanying photographs show the wide range of
activities that the girls enjoy- facilitated by active and dedicated local leaders.

The Parish Council was awarded the Best Kept Village award for 2014 by the Rural
Community Council for Essex (RCCE) in July and this testifies to the hard work undertaken
by the Parish Council in keeping the village neat, tidy and provided with community
resources, supported by other community organisations such as Kelvedon in Bloom. This is
the third time that we have won this prestigious award and reflects the effort that goes into
keeping community resources in good order.
The Parish Council would also like to thank all of those residents who assist in this process
by clearing up after their own dogs and who will take the time to pick up any stray pieces
of litter that they come across. Equally important is the reporting of problems to the Parish
Office so that we can deal with any issues as they arise – please ring 01376-570285.

The Chairman
Letter from the Chairman
;])#)Ǝ& &;$]&$Ǝ;&;Ǝ
Ǝ(Ǝ#;$Ǝ';t$,;[
I very much hope you enjoyed the first
edition? Please feel free to provide your
feedback on the magazine generally, or on
articles that appear in it, to the Clerk via the
Parish Council office.
I understand that some of you did not
initially receive your copy of the first
edition. I apologise if that was the case.
It appears that there were some logistical
issues around deliveries, which I hope and
believe have now been resolved. Enquiries at
some homes revealed that they thought the
magazine was yet another ad-mag and that
they had by mistake binned the magazine.
If a friend or neighbour says that they have
not received this edition please get them to
contact the Parish Office as reserve stocks
are now held there.
Some 40 residents attended the public
meeting held in June at the Institute to
hear from Nick Alston, Police and Crime
Commissioner, and from Chief Inspector
Richard Melton, Commander for the
Braintree District. A number of you were
able to put your concerns and questions
directly to Nick and Richard and I hope that
you found that helpful.
I came away from the meeting feeling that
communication is still a real issue (not just
here, but more generally). The Police are
seemingly legally unable to share any sort
of detailed information with bodies other
than Neighbourhood Watch. I find that
frustrating and I’m sure you do too. Lack of
timely reliable information tends to feed the
rumour mill and cause unnecessary concern.
The example quoted at the meeting was when
the police helicopter was launched and the
rumour soon started that they were looking
for armed robbers. Subsequent enquiries
established that they were, in fact, looking for
a stolen quad bike – a crime for sure, but not
in the same league as armed robbery.
The meeting also highlighted a mismatch
around reported crime information. The
Parish Council had been advised of 12 actual
or attempted burglaries in London Road. The
police had actually recorded only 1 actual
burglary and 1 attempted burglary – some
3 months apart. Both numbers could well be
correct. It is quite possible (likely even) that
perhaps a noise outside or an odd footprint
in a garden could well have been an
attempted burglary. The point is, that unless
suspicions are actually reported to the
police, they won’t be recorded and the true
crime picture will be distorted and there
will continue to be debates about whether
various figures are myths or reality.
In the previous edition, I noted that Graham
Dossett had resigned from the Parish
Council due to moving away from the area.
I am pleased to report that Rob Lancashire

has now joined the Council. I am sure he will
prove to be a valuable asset to the Council
going forward.
The work on the Recreation Ground is now
complete and the skate park is up and
running. I hope that this will prove to be a
welcome facility and that the new path will
make the area more accessible to all.
Speaking of the Recreation Ground, I can say
that, despite the poor weather, the Community
Festival at the end of June was an undoubted
success and I would like to pay tribute to the
Festival Committee and a team of very hard
working volunteers who made it all happen.
Looking ahead to the autumn, the Council
will be starting its budgeting planning
process. In recent times, we have had to
react to issues within a short time frame.
What we really want to do is to look ahead
to the slightly longer term and identify
projects that we might wish to undertake,
cost them out and set priorities – all of
which will help our planning and budgeting
processes. The Council would very much
welcome ideas from residents as to possible
projects, so please contact the Clerk if
you have any ideas. Please bear in mind,
however, that projects cost money and it

Youth Forum
Girl Guiding in
Kelvedon & Feering
This year the Rainbows unit has visited
the zoo with 2,000 others, attended a
Teddy Bear’s Concert, held a tea dance,
cooked on fires, searched for the Easter
bunny, learnt about bees, been pond
dipping, painted, glued, played and sung
to their hearts content.
Girlguiding Witham East District has 6 units within the villages of Kelvedon and Feering
which give opportunities to girls in Rainbow (aged 5 to 7), Brownie (aged 7-10) and Guide
(aged 10+) units. These are all led and supported by our enthusiastic volunteers.
The four Brownies units have had a VERY
busy time celebrating the Big Brownie
Birthday with Essex North East County
and Witham Division events.
Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. We build girls’
confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential
and encourage them to be a powerful force for good. We give them a space to have fun.
Between then they have helped “takeover”
Skegness Butlins for a weekend in January,
held a 100th Birthday party, have been

on a “Star Quest”, making and doing in the Past, Present and Future, they got stuck into
a wide range of outdoor activities at Mersea Outdoors Centre and in July they attended a
concert in Colchester just for Brownies! Some have enjoyed sleep overs and Pack Holidays,
tobogganing, swimming, handicraft, campfires, learnt first aid, held penny fairs and talent
shows to raise money for others, not to mention the craft and games you would expect. All
this and a pantomime and District Sleepover before the end of the year!
Our Guides have enjoyed a fun filled year too with a camp at “Wellies and Wristbands” a
festival just for Guiding, trips to the Milton Keynes Snow Dome and Colchester roller skating.
They have learnt first aid, baked cakes in tins over a fire, attended activity afternoons as well
as craft and games. There are additional activities for the girls aged over 14 too!
It isn’t just the girls who benefit – the
Leaders love it too! We learn new skills
(many of them from or with the girls),
meet new people and make things happen
for the girls in our care. One of our lovely
ladies recently represented Girlguiding Essex
North East at the Queen’s Garden Party at
Buckingham Palace. It’s not all glamorous
but we have a supportive team with whom
to share our experiences and laughter.
14
Volunteering is a fantastic way to
make a difference whether as a Leader
or as an occasional helper. Maybe
you have a skill to share? Margaret
and Christopher taught the Rainbows
ballroom dancing, Sally taught some
girls handbell ringing and Jim audits
the accounts once a year.
If you would like to know more please contact

Your Local Councillor
Meet the Councillor
Terry Dixon has lived in Kelvedon with his wife and latterly two
teenage children, for the last nineteen years.
After retiring early from his position as Architectural Manager in
a large multi-national oil company due to serious illness he found
retirement boring and since his partial recovery he has been a Play
Scheme Leader at the Easterford Pre-School.
Terry is an active member of the St Mary’s Primary Academy
PTFA, following a period as Chair of Governors and as a Governor
responsible for both Education and “Looked After” Children. The latter
position encouraged his family to then become Foster Carers.
Terry joined the Parish Council in 2002 and currently has responsibilities as the Chair
of Planning, lead Councillor on Recreation Matters and is a member of the Finance and
Personnel Committees.
Terry was a founder member of the Kelvedon Youth Forum and together with his wife
Louise and others holds monthly discos for the youth of Kelvedon at the Labour Club in
the High Street, normally on the second Friday of each month (except in August). Details
of these happenings are on the Parish Council Facebook page and posters that are put up
around the village. Any young people wanting to become involved should contact Terry on
01376-572393.

In his “spare time” along with other Councillors from Tiptree, Messing cum Inworth and
Coggeshall and with members of the Kelvedon and Feering Heritage Group Terry has
recently set up a pressure group called the A12VTAG with the intention of trying to do
something about the continuing traffic congestion within this and neighbouring villages.
(A12TVAG = A12 Villages Traffic Action Group).
Terry also represents the Parish Council when meeting
with the police to look at recent crime patterns and
concerns through the Joint Action Group. He also
works with the Greenfields Housing Association as an
Area Representative to ensure that their residents get
and retain decent housing and that any concerns are
resolved at an early stage.
Based in Feering
since 2009
Terry can always be contacted on tjkdixon@btinternet
or within sensible hours on 07952 185771. You may
also come across him as he walks around the village –
the large grey greyhound being a little bit of a giveaway.

Heritage
by making a pre-emptive bulldozer attack upon our little Victorian station,
unlawfully razing it to the ground.
KELVEDON AND FEERING
In 2003 the Preservation Society became Kelvedon and Feering Heritage Society.
Heritage Society
On the 28th March, 1968, a public meeting in St Mary’s Hall, Kelvedon inaugurated
the Preservation Society of the two villages, which was born out of the conviction that
“something must be done to arrest the wanton destruction of our old buildings, and to
resist their replacement by shoddy or inappropriate monstrosities.” An attendance of
about 200 people demonstrated their support. The demolitions that then threatened
are recorded in The Bulletins of the time, as are the subsequent battles fought by the
Society, right through to the present day.
There were indeed many successes and conversely, sometimes our best has not prevailed,
particularly when the opposition did not fight by the Queensbury Rules. So it was, a little
after midnight on the 15th April, 1989 when British Rail contributed to Essex Heritage Year
In recent years, the Society’s vigilance has been tested by issues of rather broader scope –
gravel extraction, waste disposal, flooding, the proposed route for the A120 and, still topical
and unresolved after over 30 years, the inadequacy of the local accesses to the A12. In an
attempt to finally resolve this particular issue, the Society has called upon local parish councils
to join with them in setting up a group called A12VTAG (A12 Villages Traffic Action Group).
The Society also set up The Community Group with other similar groups in the surrounding
area, CPRE, James Abbott and Braintree District Council to fight the then proposed
Waste Incinerator being built at Rivenhall. This was taken to a Public Enquiry where The

The Packhorse Bridge Society was set up by the Society to rebuild the original bridge
between Kelvedon and Feering, the remains of which were about to fall into the river.
The bridge has now been restored and the island is a nature reserve for the use of local
residents. The Society is still the lead body.

Bengal Lancers (Fane’s Horse) it was, until
the 1960’s used as a War Memorial by
Feering residents, when the then local vicar
thought it unsafe and had it taken down.
The remains of the original memorial were
discovered by the Society whilst doing
research for one of their Summer Walks. The
Society had the remaining slabs taken up
and stored safely until they could raise the
money to re-install them as part of a new
memorial. By the time you read this, the
new memorial should be in place on the site
of the original memorial and a dedication
service is being planned for later this year.
The Society is grateful to Hunnaballs of
Witham/Janet C. Davies, the Community
Initiatives Fund and local businesses who
have supported this restoration.
The Society arranges talks four times a year
which are free to members and a Summer
Event. The majority of our activities are also
open to non-members, when a small charge
is made. This year’s Summer Event is taking
place in September in Feering. Commencing
with a cream tea, Roger Pitt will give a talk
about John Constable the artist and his time
in the village, when he produced a number
of paintings and sketches. There will then be
the opportunity to take a walk around Feering to look at those views as they are today.
We are very lucky that the majority are very visible despite it being 200 years later.
The voice of the Society is The Bulletin – free to members – this quarterly booklet contains
articles on topics relating primarily to local history or items of current interest. Our website is
also increasingly a route to the Society for people around the world researching their family
history. These enquiries often generate interesting scenarios and constantly prove to us that
whilst we do collectively know much about the two villages, we also know so very little.
To join Kelvedon and Feering Heritage Society you don’t have to live in an old house, be
born locally, or be an expert on historic or building matters. You don’t even have to attend
any meetings – but it is nice when you do and you miss out on so much if you don’t. You
simply need an interest in things local.
Each year the Society holds a Photographic Competition in memory of Tony Bonner who
was a local farmer. From these photographs, the Society produces a calendar and we
thought you might like to see a couple of this year’s entries as part of this article.
The 2015 calendar will be on sale locally later in the year.

Credit Unions operate on a savings and
loan basis. They encourage members
to save on a regular basis but offer the
support/opportunity to borrow up to a
multiple of the saved amount, subject to
review and agreement from the Union’s
Credit Committee. Credit Unions also try
to help their members in such areas as
financial planning, budgeting and money
management. Credit Unions have become
increasingly aware in recent years of the
extent of hidden financial hardship that
remains hidden behind the lace curtains in
rural communities.

Many people still do not have access to
banks or legitimate credit providers and this
can lead them into debt with loan sharks
or pay day lenders or into a hand to mouth
existence of robbing Peter to pay Paul and
this makes stable financial planning very
difficult! Extensive puppet based advertising
on the television has been said to have been
taken up by children, who when refused an
item by a parent suggest that the parent
borrow from this source- with the child
helpfully providing the phone number!!

Kelvedon Community Association (KCA)
at the heart
( Kelvedon Community Association was founded as a charity within the village to support
more facilities for the village and its surrounding area. The event which triggered the
establishment of the body was the opportunity presented by the acquisition, by the Parish
Council, of the land behind the Institute and the Conservative Club. The land became
available when Kelvedon House had a change of use and the land was considered to be
excess to requirements under the new regime.
The Association undertook the daunting task of financing
nancing
a feasibility study to see if a new village hall could be built
ffort at
on the site. A number of grants and a determined effort
fund-raising resulted in architectural plans being drawn
rawn
up and various exciting schemes being considered. The
association was unsuccessful in its attempt to gain a
grant to build a new hall and associated car park, but
ut
contributed a lot of effort towards the project to build
uild
the Parish Council car park behind the Conservativee Club.
ission
The Association then tried to obtain Planning Permission
for a revised hall project adjacent to the car park as
plans had already been progressed and a relatively small
additional cost could have resulted in a fully planned
ed
scheme. This was again unsuccessful. The Institute has
now taken on the lead in trying to plan and fund an
n
extension of the Institute which is ongoing.
The Association is now picking up other projects
around the village which are relevant to the welfare
re
and well-being of the community. The first of these
se
is that in conjunction with the Parish Council the
association is now taking on the running of the
Christmas Lights and applying some funds to the
modernisation of the lights to make them more sustainable
stainable
and environmentally friendly. Over the past year the
he association has helped fund a
small number of projects being developed by organisations which are at the core of village
life. It is to be hoped that more funds and effort will be directed at other worthwhile
projects within the village. To this end the association has a series of fund-raising events
planned and will continue to work behind the scenes to improve our lovely village.

Last season’s winning team
Herons Farm, Colne Road, Coggeshall CO6 1TQ
Sunday Morning Football with
Social Club, Kelvedon F.C
After a morning’s kick about down the park one wintery Sunday in 1965 a few local lads
contemplated being a bit more competitive and talked about joining a league. As the
lads were talking about this in Kelvedons Labour Club, the then steward, Graham Murdy,
overheard the conversation and informed them that a Sunday Football League had just
started that season in Colchester and he would call a meeting to see if there was interest
in starting a team.
As Sunday football was a new thing in this
area, it wasn’t a sure thing that there would
be a positive response, but in the end over
20 potential players turned up. At that
time you only needed 11 players and there
were no substitutes then. It wasn’t just the
local lads who turned up, but other club
members who were playing for other local
teams in Tiptree, Coggeshall and Boxted.
Graham Murdy was elected Chairman and
30
Bobby Thomson the Secretary. Application
was made to join the Colchester League for
the 1965/1966 season and Kelvedon Labour
Club F.C were accepted straight into the First
Division, although the league had expanded
to two divisions. Bobby had to resign after
one season and Dave Ambrose took over the
secretary’s job in October 1967-temporarily
until the end of the season (but it must have
been a long season as he’s still doing it!
In 1972 another local team based at the
|railway tavern joined us to make a reserve
side and we continued in the Colchester
League until 1975. By that time the price of
petrol was going through the roof (over £1
per gallon) and as we were having to travel
as far as Clacton, and nearly into Sudbury,
it was decided to economise and to join the
more local (as we thought) Braintree League.
We then found out we were having to play in
Ridgewell or Dunmow – a false economy then.
The football was very productive though.
In the first season the 1st XI did the treble,
winning Division 1, The Division 1 Cup and
the league Challenge Cup and the 2ndXI
were runners up in Division3. There followed
a very successful period for the 1st team
being Premier Division runners-up for four
successive seasons from 1977 to 1980,
winning the Premier Division Cup once
and being runner-up twice, winning the

Challenge Cup a further three times and
runners-up twice. The 2nd XI also had their
moments winning the reserve trophy once
and being losing finalists twice.
During this period the team had a couple
of name changes. A short amalgamation
with the Sunday team from Feering realised
Easterford F.C in 1985 and after that
dissolved in 1991 we changed the name to
our current name of S.C Kelvedon F.C.
For the 1996/96 season the Club was
overhauled and dropped the reserve team
to create a much leaner and younger side
and re-joined the Colchester Sunday league
in Division 6, which they duly won with
ease. This was the first of five successive
promotions leading them to the promised
land- the Premier Division. In this period
and amalgamation with Witham Sovereign
F.C to form a reserve team meant that
they were also on their travels and reached

Division 1, which they won in 2005/06 but
couldn’t be promoted to the premier League
as the 1st XI were already there. The 2nd XI
also won the Reserve Team Cup twice and
were runners up three times.
Not to be outdone the 1st XI won the Ruby
Cup in 2010 and then in 2011 the Holy
Grail – the Premier Division Championship
– going the whole season without losing
a match. The only blemish was two draws
against the team who were runners up.
After another season the team decided to go
out on a high and disband, but the Club was
still affiliated to the Essex County Football
Association so that they could play friendly
matches as they still had some veterans and
youngsters who still wanted a kick about.
A phone call from the Braintree Sunday
league was received stating that a team had
dropped out of their league and would we
like to replace them? The players jumped at
the chance and we started out in Division 3
finishing third from bottom.
With basically the same team we started the
2013/14 season in a pessimistic mood but
things perked up and by adding a couple
more players during the season we surprised
ourselves by winning the league. Even more
surprising, we also won the cup (photo
attached) to do the double.
Next season (2014/15) will be difficult as we
have been promoted to a higher division and
also some of our more senior players have
retired leaving us short of numbers.

beautiful game on a Sunday morning

our team please contact our manager:

TRANSFORM YOUR CONSERVATORY INTO
A ROOM YOU CAN USE ALL YEAR ROUND
if your conservatory is too hot
in summer & too cold in winter..
In just a few days we will transform your old
conservatory into a beautiful living space...
...we’ve got the solution
...and here’s how we do it, first of all we remove
the roof, we will then construct & install the
lightweight aluminium frame, next we add
the high performance insulated roof before
the interior is finished to your specification.
a Guardian™ Roof will give you the conservatory
you’ve always wanted - cosy and warm
throughout winter - nice and cool in the
summer months. It’s an opportunity to turn
your conservatory into an extension for a fraction
of the cost and with the minimum fuss – in fact,
it’s the perfect solution.
The Guardian™ Roof system works perfectly
on new build conservatories or by replacing
the polycarbonate/glass roof on your existing
conservatory.
