Its amazing and wonderful that every year we s9ll don’t forget . My father served in Bomber Command
during the 2nd world war, and over the years as a priest I have presided over so many Remembrance day
services; big ones , formal ones, services round the war memorials in the villages of rural Oxfordshire ,
and many others, but the one that always s9cks out for me is the one I abended at a school I taught at in
Ascot. It was a lovely school set in rhododendron clad grounds. The lible children gathered round the
flagpole at the top of the hill , and were brilliantly led through the service, and silently took on board the
reason that they were there , and they thought about the bravery of soldiers, as well as the tragedy of
those who had died ,but then something remarkable happened . They went down the hill and they played.
It was a summer’s day (not November ) and they had their lible sun hats on , and their blue dresses and
they just played, and it struck me then as it does to this day that that is what my father fought for. He
fought for all the children of this na9on in order that they could have the freedom to play in this beau9ful
country of ours. And so now every 9me I am asked to give an address at a remembrance day service, I
think of that , and I make sure that my address talks of the future as well as the past, and the resolve and
promise that we owe to all those who have served in the armed forces and who have lost their lives, the
promise to really try to make the world a beber place where there will be no more war. Children can make
that promise before Almighty God. Can we ?

EDINGTON ARTS
The world-famous choir of New College, Oxford, is coming to Edington Priory Church on Friday December 1st to
perform the third Edington Arts Advent Concert, starting at 7pm. The conductor is Tim Wakerell.
This choir of men and boys is one of the most respected choral groups in the world, known for their distinctive style
and tone, especially the trebles, and they have an enviably wide repertoire of sacred music from plainchant to
contemporary compositions. The full range of music for Advent and Christmas will be included in the programme,
including plainchant, traditional folk tunes and pieces by Matthew Martin and Kenneth Leighton. The College’s
Organ Scholars, Josef Laming and Charles Maxtone-Smith (who will be familiar to Edington Music Festival goers
as the Festival’s Assistant Organist) will also contribute.Add to the mix of superb music the now traditional interval
refreshments of mulled wine and mince pies, and you have an unbeatably wonderful start to the Christmas season!
Demand for tickets is already strong, so don’t delay getting yours; ring Chrissy on 01380 831256 or email
sue@edingtonarts.org. Prices are £20 front nave, £15 rear nave, and £10 sides, with 18 and under coming free. If
you buy on the door on the night you will need to add £2 per ticket.
*Please note also that for logistical reasons your seat is not guaranteed until you have paid for your ticket,
We also make bespoke hand-tailored curtains and roman blinds, tailored loose
covers, soft furnishings and fabric walling.
