When’s your
glass day?
Glass that is
collected for
recycling is crushed
and reused as
a basic building
material on
the island
Glass recycling is easy. Use your Parish glass recycling scheme.
Glass should NOT be thrown away with general rubbish as the Energy from Waste Plant
(where your rubbish goes) cannot process glass. During the incineration process, glass melts
but then cools and sets, causing extra maintenance work and potential mechanical problems.

Out and About
in the Parish
Familiar faces at the Parish Hall
have taken on new roles with the retirement of the former
Parish Secretary Mike Mallet. Bernie Buesnel now fulfils
the role of Parish Secretary having held the Office of
Assistant for many years and Denise Ferri moves to
Assistant Secretary.
Senior residents of the Parish
were once more able to collect their Christmas vouchers
courtesy of Mr David Kirch. The willing team of volunteer
distributors maintained cover for the steady flow of
grateful recipients.
Travelling along La
Route de la Hougue Bie
one notices that an unusual landmark has disappeared -
the burnt tree sculpture near the junction with La Rue des
Friquettes, which has been succumbed to “lateral
persuasion”. Whether this has been effected by natural
degradation or with the assistance of miscreants remains
a mystery?
The Jersey Embroiderers Guild
As its name implies this group meets to further the fine
art of embroidery and all are welcome to learn this very
satisfying skill. They meet on the third Tuesday of each
month in the evening at Trinity Parish Hall. If you are
interested and wish to find out more please contact St
Saviour resident Mrs June Poucher on 723854.

In February the children from Year 1,
Mrs Fowler’s class, at St Saviour’s School made an educational visit to the
Parish Church. Having been introduced to the Rector they proceeded with their
clip-boards to make drawings of the various church ornaments as part of their
studies into community aspects. They took a brief respite from their tasks to
assemble for a group photograph in the chancel.

Cara Billot and John Miller
Cara Billot is a member of a well known St Saviour family. Moreover, she is also an
important member of the La Cloche Team. Thus we were all absolutely thrilled
when her long time friend John Miller, popped the question with impeccable timing
on December 16th.
Cara's family has lived in La Porte for 150 years.
However, her father, Mervyn, was working in England
when Cara was born and her early years were spent in
England and in Jersey before the family returned here for
good in 1968. Mervyn met Sheila, his wife, in England and
they married there in 1949. Cara has two sisters, Frances,
who lives in New Zealand and Nicolette who lives in
London though they are both frequent visitors back home
to Jersey. Cara attended Jersey High School and Jersey
College for Girls before taking a secretarial course at
Highlands College. Her first job was at the Housing
Department and interestingly, after many other posts both
in London and in Jersey, it is to the Housing
Department that Cara has returned. Cara was an
enthusiastic horsewoman but a serious accident in
1980 necessitated treatment in London and while
she was there she worked for entertainment lawyers
and studied for the Legal Executive Part 1 exams.
She returned to Jersey in 1992 but it would be
another eight years before she met John at work in
a Trust Company. Since returning to Jersey Cara
has been involved with the Sea Cadets , La Société
Jersiaise, The Island Singers, St Saviour's Church,
clearing La Jardin Des Buttes and La Cloche. Thus
she is well known within the Parish and the Island.
John Miller is a Scot who was born in Perth. He
came to Jersey in 1988 to work for Channel TV as
an accountant. He moved on in time to posts in
finance and met Cara through one of these in 2000.
They share a mutual interest in Classic Cars and
own up to having a number of these between them
housed in different parts of the Island. Together,
they enjoy taking part in Classic Car events in
France as well as in Jersey. John spends much of
his leisure time rebuilding cars, especially Ford cars
from the 1930's onwards. John still has family in

Scotland in the shape of his mother and his two sons and three grandchildren
as well as a daughter in Australia who is returning to Scotland to be married
later this year. However, after twenty-five years in Jersey he himself is well
rooted here.
Cara had a brush with serious illness earlier in 2012 and we missed her
from the La Cloche Team while she underwent treatment. With the end of this
in sight in December John took Cara out to L'Etacq in a hailstorm and with the
thunder crashing and the lightning flashing he proposed- in the car-not on the
beach as intended!
La Cloche offers its heartiest congratulations to John and Cara. We wish
them every happiness for their future together here in St Saviour.

News from
Grainville School
The Entrepreneurship
Challenge
Below: Pupils taking part in
the Entrepreneurship Challenge
Grainville School has recently launched a joint venture with Jersey
College for Girls known as The Entrepreneurship Challenge 2013.
It is funded and supported by Ogiers, Barclays Wealth, Jersey
Telecom and Ernst and Young. Students had to form teams of
between 2-6 and submit their entrepreneurial idea of how to use
an initial investment of £100, to trade over 8 weeks. Headteacher
John McGuinness and Business Studies Teacher Jo Carroll then
selected the lucky 10 teams. On January 31st 2013, the teams
met their mentors from one of the four supporting companies at
The Pomme d’Or hotel and consolidated their ideas and carried
out market research. They are now trading their company until the
end of March, they will be judged by a school and corporate
partner panel in April and final winners announced at the awards
ceremony in May. Teams will be judged on profit maximisation,
community impact and team work.
Students have come up with many different ideas for their
business ventures including organising concerts, cake sales,
jewellery making, selling flowers, organising dance lessons, as well

as creating customised mugs and t-shirts. Although any profit which the
students make is theirs to keep many of the teams have decided to give
a proportion, or in one case, all of their profits to charity. This shows
how students at Grainville School care for and value their local
community.
Year 10
Charity Week
Year 10 students at Grainville School spent
a week fundraising in aid of Jersey Hospice
Care at the end of January. Many activities
ran throughout the week culminating in a
non-uniform day. Students were given
responsibility to come up with ideas,
advertise, organise and run events to raise
money for such a vital charity in the Jersey
Community. The week included a
blindfolded guess the gunge, a trio of eating
challenges, a penalty shoot out and even a
gunging of a teacher. Year 10 students also
challenged their teachers to a netball match
where the teachers just got the better of
them! In total over £1000 was raised adding
to the impressive £57,000 the school has
raised for charity over the past 3 years.
James Scott, Head of Year 10 said
“Grainville places such a high importance of
giving students the opportunity to raise
funds and support the local charities in the
Jersey Community. Our aim for next week
is not only to raise as much money as
possible but to also raise pupil awareness of
Jersey Hospice Care and the outstanding
work they do within our local community. In
addition, giving students the responsibility to
run and organise weeks such as this also
equips them with important skills they can
use in the future.”
Valentines
Meal
Grainville School’s local
community were once
again treated to a 3
course meal known as
the annual “Valentines
Meal”. Year 11 students
and staff prepared
vegetable soup with
heart shaped croutons,
beef casserole and
Victoria sponge for over
100 parishioners. The
meal was served by year
11 students and the
night also involved some
musical entertainment
provided by Grainville
students. The evening
culminated in a raffle
and the now traditional
singing of “We’ll Meet
Again” and “Beautiful
Jersey”. This is a key
event in Grainville’s
Calendar where
students get the
opportunity to give
something back to the
school’s community.

A load of
old bricks?
What do the Copps,
Champions and Jolins
have in common?
They were the three families who dominated brick
making in St Saviour. At one time, there were
twenty-four brickfields in the Island, with a
concentration in Mont a L’Abbe and St Saviour, as
Deputy Roy Le Hérissier explains.
The heyday of the industry was in the nineteenth century, although
the last known brickfield carried on until the early 1950’s and was at
J.W. Huelin’s at Five Oaks (now the Normans’ site).
We start with Southview, operated by the Copps. It was
worked from the 1890’s to 1914. It seems Southview is
the house now known as Sunnydene, - the big house on
the corner of La Grande Route de St Martin and the
Maufant Road. For years there was a sign and decorative
brick work on the house gable (Maufant Road side). The
sign referred to the Copp family but is now painted over.
The excavated brickfield (or more properly, clayfield)
is just past Sunnydene up the Maufant Road. Like a lot

of former brickfields (actually clay fields) it can be recognised
because it is lower than the road and, even though a small housing
estate has now been built, there is clear evidence of a large hole.
Apparently, the base of the kiln could be seen up until 1980.
The other major brickfield was found at Five Oaks, and was
owned by the Champion family. They also had major brickfields at
Mont a L’Abbe, just past the Motor Mall site going in the Town
direction.
One of the clayfields for the Five Oak’s brickfield was on the site
now occupied by the JEP, next to the then Le Geyt Farm. Older
readers will recall that, before the JEP arrived the site consisted of a
large hole. Apparently there was also a large excavated hole on the
now Norman’s site which was used in later years as a rubbish dump,
accessed from Rue a la Dame.
Mr Champion built and occupied Aylesbury House in Five Oaks
and was also famous for building the Troglodyte Caves - a famous
nineteenth century tourist attraction to be found on what is now Clos
Paumelle Estate.
The other major yard was found, unsurprisingly, in Old Brickfield
Lane, Longueville. Look to the left at the small estate opposite the
workshops of Derek Warwick. It was owned by the Jolins who had
the dubious distinction of having a son, Daniel, who killed his father,
the owner, with a brickbat and was the last person to be publically
hanged at Gallows Hill, Westmount.
There were also brickfields at Croix Besnard but little further
information is available. Why did brickmaking boom and what led to
its demise? The massive programme of fortification building in the
Napoleonic Wars undoubtedly contributed as did the growth in the
town following large scale immigration in the early to mid nineteenth
century. The Island’s trade with Gaspé and Newfoundland in North
America provided another use for bricks. Ships came with cod for
the Island and Europe and left with bricks as ballast. Bricks for fish!
If you want evidence of Jersey brick houses and structures you will
find them in the Gaspé and Newfoundland as well as Jersey.
The last major building to be built of brick was the Forum
Cinema. If you want to see one of the last major examples standing,
go to the Parcels Office of the Post Office in Commercial Street
where there are large walls built of Jersey brick. It was the custom
for the brickyards to stamp their names on the bricks but there are
no names visible at the Post Office building. Perhaps these bricks
were laid with the names facing inwards or in nooks and crannies
not open to public view.
Why did the industry decline? There were changes to building
methods, cheaper bricks could be imported from England and the
clayfields became exhausted. Because of subsequent building, the
evidence of this once prolific industry has largely disappeared.
I am indebted to Bob and Alan Copp and to Graham Sty (of the
Champion family) for their help as well as the Société Library. If
you have any more information or wish to correct anything

Glanville
150 years of history
Glanville as a Home providing care for elderly ladies,
has been in continuous existence since 1860, and is
believed to be the oldest establishment of its kind in
Britain, and possibly in Europe.
It was actually started in 1857, when two Jersey ladies became
concerned about the welfare of a poor, blind woman and placed her
in the care of a widow. Two more poor women followed shortly after
and funds were required for their maintenance. Money was raised
through a bazaar and in 1860 a Committee was formed to supervise
the distribution of the funds.
By 1861 there were 25 women, and
the House was in Regent Road, St
Helier. The ladies were expected to be
well enough to make their own beds
‘and the like’, yet in 1878 one resident
was aged 102. Money had been
received from legacies, and in 1884 the
Home purchased the larger premises of
Regent Villa, 17 Regent Road.
In 1910 each lady was paying 3/- toward their weekly
maintenance, and this had been raised to 10/6d by 1939. In 1947
the charity became incorporated as the ‘Home for Infirm and Aged
Women’, which was approved by the States of Jersey and confirmed
by His Majesty (King George VI) in Council. By then electricity had
been installed in the Home, followed by radio and a gas heater.
By 1963 the residents had again outgrown their premises, and
Glanville in St Marks Road was purchased. There was central
heating, and most ladies had their own room with hot water. The
adjacent house was bought shortly afterwards, allowing more
bedrooms and bathrooms to be built.
By 1995 further alterations were required to
keep in line with modern demands, and
bedrooms were converted to become en suite.
By now, domestic, care and nursing staff were
employed, so the ladies no longer ‘have to
make their own bed’ although the Home is
registered to provide residential care only and it
is not possible to provide full nursing care for
any length of time.
In 2010 Their Royal Highnesses the Earl and
Countess of Wessex visited the home. They
spoke individually to all the residents, staff and
guests and unveiled a plaque to commemorate
the visit and to celebrate the 150th Anniversary
of the founding of the Home.
A conservatory was built and the patio
enlarged so that residents could sit outside and
enjoy the beautiful gardens surrounding the
Home. Part of the finance for this came from
the annual ITEX Round Island walk, the
Association of Jersey Charities and benefactors.
We are fortunate that the wives of our
Lieutenant Governors have agreed to be
Patrons of the Home. Mrs Valerie Ridgway

opened the new lift in 2007 and visited the Home on several
occasions, particularly to mark the 100th birthday of Mrs Allenett and
Miss Luce. We are delighted that Lady McColl has agreed to be our
Patron and has visited the Home.
In 2012 Mrs Andrea Hughes was appointed Manager of the
Home. She has introduced many new activities
including visits to the theatre, exercise classes, drives
and outings for afternoon tea, and communion once a
month taken by Rev Martin Shea.
Although most of our residents come to us for long
term care we also welcome ladies to stay for a while
for respite care, and a number have decided to take
up residence after a spell of such care.
The President and Committee are very
appreciative of the fact that the home has been in existence for so
long, much modernised in equipment, facilities, and care, but still run
on very similar principles. We still keep to the precepts of our
predecessors but with modern demands for facilities and care we are
continually upgrading our
facilities and constantly fund
raising to manage this. We
welcome visitors and possible
new residents to the home to
look around. Do contact our
Manager to make an
appointment to ensure someone
is free to take you around. We
very much hope that we shall be
able to continue to care for
generations of older ladies for
many years.

53rd Island Walk
On 26th March 450 boys from the secondary school will be
competing in the school’s 36 mile Island Walk. Last year, the
boys hard work in gaining sponsorship meant they raised over
£20,000. Now in its 53rd year, the school hopes to raise as
much money for two very important charities; Jersey Women’s
Refuge and Romanian charity Ecce Homo. Locally, the Jersey
Women’s Refuge operates 365 days, 24 hours a day and is a
safe house where women can come to if they experience
domestic abuse. The school’s international charity, Ecce
Homo is a Christian charity that helps the poor offering
practical and spiritual support.
Scott House
Charity Week
Students from Scott House pulled
a minibus along the Five Mile
Road on Saturday 2nd February.
The boys from the Secondary
School carried out the fundraiser
to launch the House Charity Week
which also included a charity
sleepover and cake sale. The
week raised money for the Jersey
Kidney Patients Association.
The WOW Factor 2013
Nearly 500 spectators packed out St Mary and St Peter’s Church on Thursday 7th
February for the school’s annual Talent Competition, The WOW Factor. In its sixth
year, this event attracted more than 60 youngsters that auditioned for the contest
but only 10 students could be put through to the final. Spectators watched as the
contestants battled it out to win the competition, which saw Year 9 student singersongwriter
Bob Baker win this year’s competition. The event raised £301.04 for
this year’s chosen charity which was the Teenage Cancer Trust, Jersey Appeal.
The staff and students at De La Salle look forward to an even better 2014!

Know your limits
We continue to follow the Parish Boundary at its
northernmost limits. Continuing from the last point of
reference, ”La Preference” it traverses the field to the
south of that building in a westerly direction, having to
its North side the Parish of St Martin.
Upon reaching a point approx. 200 metres from La Route de Maufant it turns
through 90 degrees to the right and cuts across La Rue du Sacrament at the
single location where there exists a slight dog-leg in this otherwise straight
section of roadway (photo 1). It then meanders northwards across the fields
and traverses La Rue de La Vignette (photo 2 looking east, photo 3
looking west) at a point approx. halfway between La Route de Maufant
and La Rue du Hucquet (St Martin) and emerges onto La Rue de la
Maitrerie approx.150 metres to the East of La Route de Maufant
(photo 4).
(Some maps show the Parish boundary following the centre
line of La Rue de la Maitrerie, in actual fact none of that road
comes under the jurisdiction of our Parish.)
Continuing eastwards along the southern hedgerow the

takes a sharp left hand turn
to the south. However if one
continues along to the
junction with La Rue de
Dielament (Trinity) and looks
across to the right there are
four properties and a field
forming a separate block
which is in the Parish of St
Saviour (photo 8). The
property known as The Daffodils is reached at the road junction
(photo 5). Here the boundary moves across the exiting road so that
La Route de Maufant is wholly in St Saviour (photo 6). Travelling
northwards one suddenly notices a change in the composition of the
tarmac surface at the left turn into La Piece Mauger (photo 7). This
point marks the northernmost extremity of the Parish of St, Saviour
and it is of interest to note that should the Parish boundary continue
northwards for
another ½ mile then
the Parish of St
Saviour would actually
bisect the Island in a
south/ north direction
from the Dicq slipway
to the pronounced
inlet near La Tete des
Hougues in Trinity.
(However, thankfully
8 this is not the case;
just imagine the
ramifications of such a
conjecture if overseen
by modern politics.
Ed. Note.)

historical reasoning for this is uncertain but one theory put forward is
the regulation that the Connétable of a country Parish must reside in
their own Parish and a former incumbent of St Saviour dwelt just over
the border - nothing that a slight shift of land could not accommodate
the ruling!
Returning to the main
boundary this runs through
the fields to the right of La
Rue de Dielament until it
reaches La Rue de la
Guilleaumerie which it
crosses at its junction with
La Rue du Pont and heads
diagonally across the field to

exit onto La Rue de la
Boucterie directly opposite
La Commune where an
attractive and ornate parish
boundary marker can be
seen (photo 9). Below it
and to the left a faded but
legible stone with P.L.M (Le
Maistre?) and M.L.S. (Le
Sueur?) engraved into the
granite is set into the wall
(photo 10).
The boundary then
continues down the right hand side of the steeply inclined La
Commune to a place just short of the junction with La Rue de la
Roulerie where the stream which feeds Grands Vaux Reservoir
crosses and marks the actual boundary (photo 11).
This stream meanders towards the reservoir following a route
parallel to Mont de la Rosiere and exits through a wooded area to the
rear of the property known as Paul Mill (photo 12 looking north /
photo 13 looking south). The boundary technically runs along the
centre of the reservoir and exits at the dam at the lower
end (photo 14) to follow the culvert which flows under
Grands Vaux school grounds and exits along the school
wall (photo 15) to cross Les Grands Vaux. The future
article in the series will follow the boundary as it weaves
its way through the urban conurbation of the former
Nicholson Park towards Town Mills.

La Clioche Cratchie
Par Tony Scott Warren
As-tu la tête souos l'aile?
Have you got your head under your wing? (Are you ill?)
Since the start of the so-called
Spring Term as I've travelled
around our schools, I've noticed
that there seem to be more
maladies [illnesses] around this
year than last. It's not just that les
mousses sont afflyigis [the children
are suffering] but there are lots of
sick teachers too. Some headteachers
have been tearing their
hair out to keep classes running!
Of course it's quite normal to
have eune suée d'fraid [a cold] at
this time of year, but there's an
awful lot of it about. Students have
been blianc l'tou des dginnes
[green around the gills – though in
Jèrriais it's white rather than
green] when they are in the
classroom – not just from
forgetting homework...The girls in
one class found it hilarious that
when you sneeze in Jèrriais, you
don't go “Atchoo!” but
“Ètcheunme!” If someone sneezes,
you should say “Qué l'Bouôn
Dgieu vouos bénisse!” [May the
Good Lord bless you!].
Later in the year, l'êtèrnueûthie [sneezing] may be a sign of la
maladie du fain [hay fever], but in winter it is more likely to be due to
eune ramée d'fraid [a heavy cold] or la grippe [influenza]. While we
might take des boulets [pills] to make us feel better, if you had the
same problem a century ago, the recommended cure was du sitho
d'colînmachon [snail syrup] – it makes me
feel better just to know that I'm not going to
have to take it nowadays!
However it was usually accompanied by du
nièr dginne – gin with blackcurrants.
Some of the other “cures” in the old days
are enough to turn you pale. If you had a
deep cut, it was said that there was nothing
better to seal it than la bra – pitch made from
pine resin. However while the blood was
flowing, you were meant to staunch it with d's
ithangnies [spiders' webs] or un tchias dé
p'tun [a wad of chewing-tobacco].
People had to be able to recognise healing
plants in the days before doctors were
available to all. Vervain – la vèrveine could be
used in plasters to help speed a cure but was
also good to cachi les chorchiers [drive away
witches] or pouor env'yer un sort [to send a
spell]; d's ortchies [nettles] were used both in
infusions to cure bad blood, and as something
to be beaten with as a cure for back-ache –
ouch!
Finally, if you thought you had a cold
coming on, before going to bed you had to
put your feet in eune petite toubée dg'ieau
caude, atout eune bouanne pouangnie
d'moutarde d'dans [a little tub of hot water with a good handful of
mustard in it] and drink un bouan vèrre caud [a glass of wellsweetened
boiling-hot rum or brandy]. Some people enjoyed this so
much that they could see a cold coming
from a very long way off!
Bouanne santé - Good health! À bétôt

A section for our
younger readers
How did you get on with your “bird spotting” trip in
Queen’s Valley? If you did not see many different types
of birds it is worth going again. I went on the Sunday
after the last magazine was delivered and only saw 16
different types. I went again at the end of February
and saw over 50, the best one being a
Great Spotted Woodpecker.
This issue we are going to find out a few things about
ROAD SAFETY. Even though the dark evenings are
disappearing there are still a lot of cars and lorries on
our roads.
Have a look at the picture on page 3 and repeated
on this page of the children from St Saviour’s School
on a visit to our Parish Church. You will see that they
are all wearing yellow vests, this is to make them easily
seen as they walk down to the church from school and
cross over the busy road by the Parish Hall. Now look
at this picture here - it is the same group in the church
but when the photograph was taken the flash on the
camera was used. This is how a car driver clearly sees you in your
reflective vest when lit up in their headlights at night or in dull
and foggy weather.
It shows you how good it is to wear the yellow reflective
stripes vest and it can prevent an injury to you.
And remember that when walking along the footpath do not
walk near the kerb, you may trip and fall into the road. If you are
walking with an adult or a friend it is better to stay in single file
and NEVER step off the footpath into the road to pass somebody.
When you want to cross a road if there is a lollipop stick person to
help always cross with their help. If you are using a pelican crossing,
the one with the button to press and the Red and Green man signs
always remember that you must not cross straight after you have
pressed the button but must wait for the red man to turn green.
When the green man shows do not start to cross until you are sure
that all the cars and lorries have stopped and be careful in case a
cyclist suddenly comes from behind a stopped car As soon as the
green man starts to flash on and off you MUST NOT start to crossthis
means that the cars are about to start to move.
Try not to walk along a road where there is not a proper
footpath. If you have to go down a road like this always walk on
the right hand side so that you are facing towards the traffic
that is coming towards you. The only time that you should walk
with the traffic behind you is when there is a sharp bend in the road and
you cannot see the cars coming- when this happens cross over and then
back again once you have cleared the bend.
Parents, we have a Road Safety Officer in Jersey and he can be
contacted at Police Headquarters if you have any concerns or wish
advice on a road safety matter. (612222)

and the green man means safe to cross

After our rest over the Christmas Period it was straight back to work in early January. Our
first mission for 2013 was to have a huge tidy up which involved our helpers sifting
through 14 years of storage. We are pleased to report that we now have a lovely tidy shed
with a massive working area and importantly it is a lot safer for us all to move around.
We are now straight back into the fundraising
with our fortnightly bingos at Springfield
commencing on the 9th January and our
monthly car washes on the first Saturday of
every month, next one 6th April, at the Parish
Depot. We are all looking forward to working
with the new Miss St Saviour, Enya Ferey
during this coming year. We chose our float
themes in February; the Senior float designed
by Jennie Gorvel is based on an Arabian
theme. The junior float is designed jointly by
Jenna Buesnel and Nicolé Drieu and based
on the children’s classic, The Magic Roundabout. Designs can be
viewed in the shed on Saturday mornings.
We urgently require someone with welding skills-if you can assist
please contact our Chairperson, Anne Le Brun on 865521. In March
we held our first ever fashion show where clothing by My Way, Ellis
and Ahmie were shown. The
event, sponsored by Easenmyne
was held at Le Quesnes
Nurseries and Garden centre who
we thank for their continuing
support. Keep an eye out for our
Quiz Nights held at the Parish
Hall.
Finally, just to let you all know
that we continue to meet on a
Saturday morning at the Parish
Depot where we can never have
enough helpers, the float being the largest community event for our
Parish. If you wish to become involved please contact the Parish Hall
on 735864. The Association wishes to thank this year’s main
sponsors, Freelance Motor Group, Jersey Post and the Parish of St
Saviour - we couldn’t do it without them.

Peter Hanning
sailing across the Atlantic
Underneath:
The Lord Nelson
Below:
Peter on board ship
Peter Hanning is no ordinary sailor. Having spent many happy hours upon the local
briny, he suddenly found himself with the opportunity of a lifetime – to sail across the
Atlantic on board the Lord Nelson, a fabulous square rigger which belongs to The
Jubilee Sailing Trust and offers sailing trips to able-bodied and disabled people.
His trip was part of the Jubilee Sailing Trust
Norton Rose Sail The World Challenge, a
two-year voyage around the world to
celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. Peter had
always wanted to sail across the Atlantic,
little knowing that he would be 60 plus
before realising his dream!
In October 2012, Peter travelled to
Southampton where he met fellow volunteer
crew members and the permanent ship’s
company. He holds so many happy
memories of that trip it is difficult to know
where to start.
The ship sailed out of Southampton on
21st October 2012 –Trafalgar Day. She
headed south and across the Bay of Biscay
arriving in the Canaries two weeks later.
“There was quite a stiff breeze during that
part of the trip and some stimulating sailing,”
he said.
They stayed for a week in Las Palmas
before setting off across the Atlantic to the
UNESCO World Heritage islands of
Fernando de Noronha, off Recife, in northern
Brazil.
The SE trade winds were perfect sailing weather for crossing the
Atlantic: “We enjoyed the best sailing conditions I have experienced,
and certainly better than expected,” he said.
As they sailed towards the Equator, the Captain organised a
sweepstake competition to work out the time the ship would cross
the equator (Peter won coming within 5 minutes, although another
crew member was also very close. CB) and most of the crew had to
go through the initiation ceremony of ‘crossing the line’ according to
Neptune’s Court.
There were more than 40 people on board; the Captain was a
lady called Barbara Campbell, and the First Mate was a 6’ 4”
Geordie. The Cook was a professional chef who had worked on the
QE2.
“He provided wonderful food whatever the weather and always
baked a cake for special occasions like birthdays and special
celebrations, such as St Andrew’s Day,” said Peter.
Among the volunteer crew members there were two disabled
Royal Marines who had both been to Jersey with Holidays for
Heroes. Each disabled person had a buddy to assist and help them;
Peter’s buddy, Roger, was chief instructor at an outdoor adventure
centre.
The Captain organised instruction for the crew teaching them the
rudiments of using a sextant and how to line up against the sun and
horizon. The crew were assigned to watches and mess duties i.e.
four watches of 6 to 7 people who were on watch for four hours in
turn. When not on watch, people were catching up on sleep, or
doing their mess duties, washing, cleaning, etc.
Plenty of marine life was seen actively chasing the ship, or just
keeping company. “There were minke whales, humpbacked whales,
dolphins, flying fish; and plenty of birdlife too, such as boobies, and
skuas,” he said.
The Lord Nelson anchored overnight at the biggest coral reef in
the South Atlantic, an archipelago and designated Ramsar site called
Parque Nacional Marinho dos Abrolhos, which lies 450 miles north
of Rio.
Special permission is needed before anyone is allowed to land on
any one of the five islands. The Brazilian Navy maintain the area
and keep it clean and free from human marauders as it is home to
some of the richest range of marine life in the South Atlantic.
As they were approaching Rio de Janeiro a thick fog developed,
reducing visibility to a few feet, but the next day brought a return to
hot sunshine and the warm welcome of the Brazilian people,
especially the disabled Samba dance team who were such a feature
of the closing ceremony of the London Paralympics of 2012.
Sea voyages on the Lord Nelson, a frequent visitor to Jersey, are
open to able-bodied and disabled people and can offer an
unforgettable experience whether for as little as a weekend, or, as in
Peter’s case, a two-month sea voyage.

Nurseries and Miss St Saviour 2011, Francesa Vincent. The four
contestants, Summer Boulter, Enya Ferey, Connie Le Brocq and
Emma Le Boutillier whose ages ranged from 17 – 19 years old,
were then interviewed comprehensively in turn by Murray. They
returned to the stage together for the judges to have one last look at
them and were thanked for taking part in this esteemed component
of Parish life.
Whilst the judges retired to deliberate over their decision, the
audience were entertained with a game of bingo and a prize draw.
On the judges return, the Chairperson of St Saviour’s Battle of
Flowers Association Anne Le Brun, gave a short speech thanking all
of those involved with the evening, the hotel and those attending for
their support. The retiring Miss St Saviour 2012, Danielle Volante,
then thanked all those who had supported her throughout her reign.
She wished the new Miss St Saviour well and said she hopes she
has as enjoyable a year as she has had. Murray Norton then
announced the positions: Joint 3rd place Summer Boulter and
Emma Le Boutillier, runner-up Connie Le Brocq and the new Miss St
Saviour 2013, Enya Ferey.
Enya is the daughter of Beverley and Malcom Ferey of La Rue
des Pres. She is an assistant nurse who will be starting her nursing
degree in September. She has helped with St Saviour’s Battle of
Flowers floats since the
age of 5 and is also
actively involved with
Brownie and Guide groups.
In her final duty Miss St
Saviour 2012, crowned
Enya with the tiara and sash
of honour and presented all
contestants with flowers,
vouchers and sparkling
wine. This concluded a
most enjoyable evening for
all who had attended.

St Saviour’s
Bowls Club
St Saviour’s bowls club will be restarting
during April - weather permitting - and its
members will be eager to get used to the
outdoor greens after a winter indoors or in
warmer climes.
The club is situated next door to the cricket stadium at
Grainville and members use the free parking alongside the
Grainville pitches. (There is disabled parking next to the
bowls club) and can now be seen more easily from the road
with the hedges having been lowered.
With over 100 playing members the club will be taking
part in all the island inter club leagues with many also
participating in the island knock out championships. The
club is not, however, just about these keen competitive
players.
St Saviour’s has its own internal “friendly “leagues and
competitions

plus a lot of social occasions throughout the
season. The club is open 7 days a week running 3 sessions

special SOCIAL/NEW MEMBERS days as follows:
Saturdays 18th May, 15th June and 22nd June from 17.00

But you don’t need to wait for one of those days just call
Paul du Feu on 732441/07797733304 or email at

Petanque
in St Saviour
The group “St Sauveur Petanque”
was started over a year ago and now
has fourteen regular players.
Spring2013 St Saviour Parish Magazine p29
We were invited to take part in the Inter
Parish competitions and are now competing
with eight other parishes in the winter league.
We believe several other parishes are
currently forming groups to join the league
which will take place during the summer
months.
We do not have a home terrain at present,
so we are currently ‘borrowing’ a terrain outside the pavilion in
Coronation (Millbrook) Park, until we can obtain our own
Parish terrain. Parish officials are currently looking into the
possibility of providing a ‘home’ terrain for us.
Easter Message
for La Cloche
Soon the church bells will be ringing for
Easter. There is nothing as moving as
reciting the Easter Anthems at the
beginning of the early service on Easter
day. Having said this, I suspect that there
was something very exciting about the
tradition in Radnorshire on the Welsh
border of climbing the nearest mountain
at daybreak on Easter morning to see the
sun's rays dancing in joy at the
Resurrection. This would be done by
crowds of people.
That Welsh custom is a reminder to us in our very
individualistic culture that Christian belief is a
shared thing. Yes, our individual faith matters.
However, it is greatly enriched by being
understood and experienced as part of the
corporate faith and belief of our local Christian
community and of the worldwide Church. This, I
think, is one of the reasons why modern creeds
begin with the words "We believe" rather than "I
believe." There is also the advantage that at major
festivals people, who for one reason or another
have lapsed from church attendance, can feel
free to try leaning a little on the faith of others.
Wishing you all a joyful Easter,
Anthony Swindell, Rector.
We are a very sociable group who often follow the mornings play with lunch
in various restaurants.
If you are interested in playing or need more information you can contact
Gill Blampied on 626166 or email pgblampied@gmail.com.
St Saviour business
expands
Opening soon in the Parish - hopefully in time for Easter - will be
the biggest pet store in the Channel Islands. The Pet Cabin have had
an outlet at Le Quesne’s Garden Centre and Café for over five years,
and after some six years’ planning, a new 9,000 square feet retail
outlet is nearly ready to open its doors.
Popular pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas and rabbits will be on
sale as well as everything the caring pet owner might require. Director
Chris Le Saint said: "It has taken a lot of work but we are all very excited
that the end is nearly here and we will be open for business, all being
well, around Easter."
