VIKINGS IN KINTYRE

MIRACLE AT TAYINLOANOn Thursday 6th January off Gigha, the FV Blue Angel was shooting creels, when young Sean Taylor (21 Years), got his leg caught up on a creel rope and went over the side and to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 40 metres. The skipper and other crew member managed, to find the strength, to get Sean back to the surface after 8 minutes. Once on board, the boat skipper, Mark Sheldrick, gave him the kiss of life and summoned help. A helicopter was dispatched from Prestwick and Mark was given medical assistance via mobile phone and radio till the helicopter arrived on the scene. THIS IS THE SEARCH AND RESCUE SERVICE THE GOVERNMENT ARE DETERMINED TO CUT! Of more importance was Marks next step, being a Christian, he contacted a prayer chain and soon a large amount of people all over Britain and beyond were praying for Mark via the internet. The Fishermen's Mission were contacted to assist in contacting the relatives, being active with the family in Kintyre and at the hospital in Ayrshire, where Sean was helicoptered out to, and into intensive care. I am now glad to report Sean is now at home in Tarbert with his partner Natasha, and celebrating the birth of their daughter Corrin. Skipper Mark asked the coast-guards if it was known for anyone to have survived so long at 40 metres and for 8 minutes, they told him no. That is why it was a miracle and GOD answered prayers. Isn't it good that we have a GOD at work in Kintyre EVEN when the Kirk is being decimated by ministers leaving. M.M.R.

CARRADALE BRANCH OPEN THURSDAY 10am - 11amVIKTORIA VIKINGVIKINGS BACK IN KINTYRE SALMOND FISHING FOR CHINA? The photographs show the Viktoria Viking boat which was visiting Carradale for a few days. Its purpose was to grade the salmon in the cages by size. This vessel which is Norwegian owned was hired by Lakeland Marine to carry out this purpose. Seeing it steaming in towards the pier was reminiscent of the day the paddle-steamer Waverley emerged from the fog

THE POST OFFICE GETS SNAPPYIf for some good reason you have had to abandon either of our two local friendly Carradale Post Offices recently for the queues in the single Campbeltown Post Office supermarket, you may be wondering why the impressive display of counter service points is restricted to two, or sometimes one, while a ponderous box sits where the male postmaster used to dispense Royal Mail largesse. Is he helping those with little or no English to understand what makes the post office tick, or is he checking that parcels which have a tick are dealt with safely? Those with a suspicious mind might equally well assume that with other banks being reluctant to offer loans or mortgages, applicants are being given the third degree under a battery of lamps. Nothing could be further from the truth. Far from making it more difficult to obtain what every post office user wants, its is an attempt to simplify the process of obtaining a new driving licence, and possibly a new passport or concessionary public transport card. There is certainly no truth in the rumour that it is to assist the police in dealing with troublesome or noisy shoppers trying to use outdated tokens or asking what happened to the nationally advertised three for the price of two offer on fishermans friends. So if you need to get a new photograph taken to please the DVLA dont try to get a friend or a member of the Carradale Camera Club to do the honours, queue with the pensioners, and when your turn comes snap into action, open the box, and rather than taking the money opt for a Royal Mail photo - theres no dividend but you need to face-up to the new technologies.

ANTLER PHOTO QUALITYEvery effort is made to obtain and maintain the quality of photographs in the Antler, but tonal quality is subject to a number of factors. Since the Antler appears in colour on the Scribd web-site, photos often appear dark in the printed edition. It would certainly help quality if those sending pictures for publication maintain a high camera pixel count and avoid the use of low pixel mobile phone technology. Lakeland are hopeful of getting planning permission to add some extra cages as the success of the project so far has been very good. This will increase the number of full-time employees by 2 and part-time by 1. This is very good for the economy of the village. In particular, they have been very impressed with the quality of personnel available in Carradale both in relation to full time and part-time employees. At a recent meeting between some local members of Carradale Harbour Users Group and Lakeland our attention was drawn to the very recent research being carried out on a sea-fish called wrasse. Wrasse when introduced to the cages of salmon may possibly be a better way of controlling sea lice. Wrasse can feed off the lice which attach themselves to the salmon. If this proves to be successful this would reduce or even eliminate the need for pollutants to be used for this purpose. J.S.I. Viktoria Viking is a new well-boat recently delivered to Remyvring AS in Fosnavg. The boat was built at the Aas Mek. Verksted Shipyard in Norway and has a tank capacity of more than 1000 m3. On board there is an Aquaterm RSW plant with a refrigeration capacity of 1040 kW. The well-boat is being operated in Scotland for the salmon industry. Her state-of-the art equipment includes a pumping capacity of 12000m3/hour, bow and stern thrusters, a water treatment system that can process 1000m3/hour and an ozone water disinfection system. Her hold is technically advanced with a built-in self cleaning system on a moving bulkhead and this also forms part of an advanced fish crowding system, with baffles movable from side, top and bottom to gather live cargo for pumping. All her pumping systems are duplicated with redundant systems to ensure continuity. The Viking is rated at 1214 grt and is 51.5 metres long with crew space for 10. Photo courtesy of Martin Mears2

SENIORS FORUM TO FOLD?SOUTH KINTYRE SENIORS JANUARY MEETING In the absence of George McMillan for health reasons, the meeting was at George's request chaired by Margaret Turner. As there had been no business conducted at the December meeting there were no previous minutes to approve; but it was pointed out that Ailsa Stewart had also provided food at the December meeting. Mrs Turner talked about the officers (Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer) in the light of her understanding that each of the foregoing had expressed an intention to resign from their respective offices at this Annual General Meeting. She said that George McMillan had nevertheless indicated to her when he contacted her about today's meeting that in the absence of any alternative candidate he would be prepared to serve for a further year. She also said that if there were similar offers to act as Treasurer and Secretary she might undertake those duties herself. She asked Catherine Mclntyre if she would consider acting as Secretary; but Catherine was not willing to do so. Mrs Turner sought the views of the meeting as to how we should proceed in this situation. The general feeling that emerged was that with falling numbers of regular attendees at meetings - Ian explained at that point that our Minutes each month went out to about 30 addresses - and a lack of volunteers to become office bearers, we needed to consider bringing the Forum to an end. Mrs Turner reminded us that we were the only non-statutory body representing the views and interests specifically of older people in our area, and that there was a palpable need for such an independent voice to be heard, particularly on such topics as the provision of health services and help in the home for those of us no longer able to live fully independent lives. After considerable discussion it was agreed that the February meeting, originally scheduled to take place in Tayinloan, be held in Campbeltown, and that the Annual General Meeting be adjourned to March (also in Campbeltown). Ian was asked to arrange a speaker for the February meeting, either Major Thomson to talk about the Salvation Army, or if she were unavailable Mrs Cousin to describe the role of the British Red Cross.

As I said to Antony Armstrong Jones, children today have an ability to capture the essential and sometimes unusual essence of a subject - not like some of those little ..........in the 1970s & 80s (see school photos on page 4)

Is this the effect of high rainfall in Carradale or did Rachel Grant just slip into putting a Brae face on a notional local catastrophe?

EAST KINTYRE COMMUNITY COUNCIL ROAD UPDATEA REQUEST FOR YOUR HELP IN CURING THE HOLE IN THE ROAD SYNDROME Argyll & Bute Council reliably informed me today (9th February) that a roads inspector, after surveying the hill at Dippen, which is due for re surfacing work in April, travelled up the road to Redhouse last Wednesday - as requested by EKCC - noting the state of the road. The road is now on the official to be dealt with list! Will all users of the road PLEASE phone the service point number at the Burnett Building to register their concern about the state of the road. This is the most effective way of ensuring that we move up the list. A polite phone call is most effective - remember the telephone operative is not to blame for the potholes! Phone 01586 559000 and ask for the Roads Department. Ask for the call to be logged. Shelagh Cameron, Convenor.3

TATA, ROLLS ROYCE HIYA, WALLACE HUNTERWith news that the Indian Company TATA is engaged in providing global IT services, business solutions and outsourcing services, for Rolls Royce, as well as being an engineering partner in India, it was interesting and pleasurable to know that the local Gold-smithing company, Wallace Hunter, is engaged in producing very high quality panel inset strips for certain Roll Royce cars. So in terms of the well-known TV programme Goodness Gracious me, would it be impertinent to repeat the mantra Gold-smithing Indian? Perhaps not. However it raises once again the perennial question - Who owns Britain's car industry? The Independent Newspaper confirms that our suspicions are true - a collection of Japanese, German, American and now Indian based trans-nationals. With the demise of MG Rover in 2005, the last remotely serious volume manufacturer was lost to the nation. Most of our surviving famous names are in the hands of "foreigners" Mini and Rolls-Royce are subsidiaries of BMW, Bentley is in the loving care of Volkswagen, Vauxhall is still owned by General Motors of the US and Ford retains engine and van-making operations in Britain. The biggest growth in the British car industry has come from the Japanese brands. Margaret Thatcher opened Nissan's plant in Sunderland more than 20 years ago and it is still one of the most efficient in Europe. The company is the UK's biggest car manufacturer. Toyota and Honda are also significant players and Tata will hope to emulate the successes of all three. Even the Malaysian company Proton owns a slice of our heritage, in the sporty shape of Lotus, while Nanjing Automotive of China is promising the return of small-scale MG sports car production to Longbridge in Birmingham. The Russians own LDV Vans a vestige of the old British Leyland. Only specialist manufacturers such as Morgan and Bristol can be said to be British in the traditional sense. The Editor is not suggesting that the renowned Carradale company will indulge in some of the traditional practices associated with the sub-continent, but if their employees future bi-annual trips to faraway places in Scotland seem to end up at a rather unusual buildings and the workshop smell becomes a little more pungent, beware, leave your shoes outside. Technically the process of making fine casting is by a lost-wax process, traditionally used by sculptors and craft workers since Roman times. Lost-wax casting sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue (from the Latin cera perduta) is the process by which a brass or bronze sculpture is cast from an artist's sculpture. Other metals such as silver and gold are also cast. Intricate works can be achieved by this method, primarily depending on the carver's skills. In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardized. Other names for the process include "lost mould," which recognizes that other materials besides wax can be used, including tallow, resin, tar, and textile; [1] and "waste wax process" or "waste mould casting", because the mould is destroyed to unveil the cast item.[2][3] Other methods of casting include open casting, bivalve mould, and piece mould.[3][4] Lost-wax casting was widespread in Europe until 18th century, when a piece-mold process came to predominate. Information and pictures in the left-hand panel on this page are from the Internet site Wikipaedia4

00H - NOT RELIANT ENOUGH MR BONDThose who enjoyed the early years of post war motoring may remember a three wheeled vehicle called the Bond Minicar, (new cost 294) which sported a Villiers 125cc motor-cycle engine with a kick start lever under the bonnet, a single bench seat and wheels which would be undersized for one of todays mini-trailers; it also had the ability to turn on a single front wheel in its own length. As a callous youth I was anxious to have real power, a four-stroke engine and four seats, so entranced by the following description I traded in Mr Bond for something more reliant The Reliant Regal, (449) with its 7.5hp 4 cylinder water cooled engine, four speed and reverse gear box and car-type rear axle, the Regal offers car comfort and performance at a little more than motor cycling costs cruises happily at 45 to 50mph with ample power in reserve for bursts of speed up to 65 MPH, and if one is content with more moderate cruising, a petrol consumption of 50 miles per gallon may be enjoyed. If required the reverse gear may be omitted enabling the car to be driven under a group G driving (motor-cycle) licence. Within weeks things had started to go wrong. First the battery top split open - starting was a no-go operation, the fibre-glass shell was showing signs of departing from its wooden framework and Australian characteristics were being loaded with every 56d a gallon of petrol (thats 25p a gallon or 5p a litre in todays money). In a mood of desperation and a desire for the return of 007, the agent was sent the following letter Dear Sir, I wish to draw to your attention the performance of a Reliant car bought from. Since its purchase in November 1958 this car has been under constant repair and adjustment. During the first week in January the car failed to start on a number of locations and subsequently delayed my departure up to 3 hours, resulting substantial loss of pay. Two attempts by a local garage failed to find the cause of the problem. After visits to your agency, later in the same month, similar faults and consultations caused a second valve to be reset. A third series of garage visits, diagnosed a few weeks later, more trouble with valve clearances. More recently this failure to start has been remedied but more trouble with the valve has caused consistent refusal to pull away after a momentary stop at traffic lights. This trouble, together with a general lack of power, has remained, despite constant tuning, valve setting, decarbonising and the eventual replacement of valves. Today a further visit to the garage has failed to remedy these problems. In addition to engine trouble, the drivers door panel has separated from its frame and the glass has started to chip through constant vibration. Now with a history of nearly four months constant repair and with but three weeks before the end of the guarantee, I feel to compelled to insist that the car be put into working order with no further inconvenience or financial loss to myself. I am very willing to bring the car to the agency on any day on the understanding I will return home with transport of a reliable kind that will not require attention within a very short time of leaving the garage. If you are unable to do this I shall contact a solicitor and Reliants Head Office. I trust that your attention to this letter will do more than justify the tradition of service and reliability implicit in the term reliant. I remain etc. Those readers who have accompanied me along the roads of post-war Britain may be surprised that there was no return to Mr Bond. Instead a Singer Vogue Estate appeared which would stop suddenly and needed the carburettor float freed-off every few miles; three carburettors later it was traded in for a series of VW Beetles. Moral - trust Mr Bond to be more reliant than his namesake but if you want reliable transport Beetle off to Germany. F.P.5

PHOTOGRAPHY PHANTASMAGORIADisregarding the front page comment, I am happy to report, even if late, on an excellent display of photographs in Carradale Primary School last December. Not mainly by the Camera Club, although their members did display a few usual high standard prints. What really impressed was a huge number, certainly well over a hundred, of prints by pupils. The Club members had better look to their laurels, for with very little practical guidance these youngsters are producing photographs which make me think that a separate future junior section in club exhibitions and competitions could be unnecessary. Of the many prints a few were really outstanding, delightful and interesting. I think of several prints of a child peeping from behind a tree,showing a spontaneity and sense of fun seldom seen in prints by adults. There were also a couple of impressive close-ups, a worker staring directly into the camera and a boy almost completely buried in leaves this last another real fun photograph. Birds in silhouette is another picture which sticks in my mind. Clearly, digital photography has made such a quality display possible, short circuiting as it does all the technicalities of traditional. But no less credit to the junior photographers. One aspect illustrated by the show was that lots and lots of photographs are inevitably going to throw up some real beauties as happened here. Any guidance offered here would be to be more selective, and thoughtful at time of snapping. Otherwise, and this is possibly where a club can help out, try greater variety of presentation of final print size, format, matt instead of gloss, which techniques are all that distinguished the best of the pupil prints from the club prints. It is truly to be hoped that these young photographers persevere and present us with another show of their own and with contributions to the Clubs annual show. Even that they might form a group of their own, possibly within the club, but certainly with all the help the club could offer. Congratulations, pupils, and best thanks to all helping adults.

DRIPS & SPARKS

UP THE POLEWith the unannounced withdrawal of some utility services in the closing months of 2010 and the early months of 2011 it has been reassuring at least to see electricity supply systems being upgraded. Although few can predict the loss of services due to inclement weather, Scottish Waters Carradale supply system seems capable of failure in sympathy with other areas. Is this a computer glitsch or simply that precautions are not taken to avoid failure of the supply at times when heavy rainfall seems to upset water supplies coming from a bore hole? With pensioners and young children particularly at risk, is it not incumbent on SW to provide bottled water to every household, or at least at well established collection points. Photo by Rachel Grant.

If they cut off my water and electricity again without providing a replacement service I can assure them that my comments will do more than just make their eyes water & may come as a shock to their ears. Photo and 65th greetings to Janette on 30th March - Raquell!

JANUARY RAINFALLA New Year but the January statistics showed that the below average rainfall of last year continues. The total rainfall in January was 133mm (between 5& 6 inches); whereas the average for January is a much higher 227mm (9inches). It was a month of two halves as some heavy falls recording 20,18 & 20mm on the 4th 5th and 12th made us think that rainfall deficit might be reduced, but a virtually dry second half of the month put us once again in the below average category. After January 17th,, other than trace recordings, we had rain on only four occasions. Long-time Kintyre residents tell me that such dry conditions in January are certainly not the norm, but after the severe pre-Christmas weather conditions, the recent weather has been universally welcomed. I am sure we will still get more wintry weather, but the respite is welcome and it brings, with the lengthening days, the promise of Spring and, further into the future, the heady days of summer. M.L.

POO - DUMPINGDROPPING A HINT Those who use Carradales comprehensive path system are protesting that some dog walkers, while collecting their pets dropping in a plastic bag, are leaving the bag and its contents at the side of the path for others to walk on it. There are bins available in the village for the purpose and there is a belief that the miscreants still have bins at home - so the old advice of taking your litter home remains a simple piece of advice for those who wish to avoid prosecution. A gentleman who obviously prefers to save the Council workmen from dealing with his rubbish, has been seen throwing it into the sea from the pier. Isnt it time that peer pressure is brought on someone who often reports other peoples illegal action to the same Council.

WEST COAST COURTESYARCHIE DARROCH & THE SCHOOL BUS

On a cold winters afternoon in 1978 the school bus came to a grinding halt in icy conditions. Carradale car drivers travelling in the same direction stopped, picked up as many passengers as they could and were surprised a few days later when they received a letter from the West Coast Service Company offering them a free fill up of petrol at WCMs expense!

01586 552954The funding now comes from several sources including the two wind-farm trusts and membership fees. The route was planned to take in all the centres of population. It is largely run by volunteers with a little help from the employability scheme in the construction of paths. The total running cost for 2010 was 46,810. The majority of walkers are aged over 50 and are predominately women who take advantage of baggage transportation, b&bs and hotels en route. Numbers have increased over the years from an initial 250 to 1500 in 2010. Stories and songs about the Way have been written by participants and others have provided sculptures. There is a need to raise the profile of the route as it links with several other long distance walks. Several helpful suggestions were made by the audience including advertising it on a TV programme, possibly assisted by a well-known celebrity. It is hoped to reduce the road walking stretches in the near future. The talks were thoroughly enjoyed even though probably only a minority were of an age to walk the walk. The speakers were thanked by Margaret Leighton, after which the usual excellent refreshments were served. The next meeting on Tuesday 22nd February in Carradale Village Hall will be a slide show by Eddie McGuire. M.P.

SADDELL & CARRADALE GUILD,THE S.S.A.F.A. AND THE KINTYRE WAYAn audience of twenty-five residents gathered in Carradale Village Hall Committee Room on January 18th to hear Anne Morans talk on her work for the (SSAFA) Soldiers, Sailors and Air Force Association. Anne was such a good speaker and really brought to life her work and exploits as a health visitor in Europe and the far east. Before joining the Association she nursed in Campbeltown and for a time in Canada. On coming home she still had itchy feet and after meeting an SSAFA nurse at a conference, decided to apply for a similar opportunity. She was accepted as a civilian health visitor, but paid by the Ministry of Defence, and started work in Mnster, as a member of staff at a medical centre specializing in child health, ante and post-natal care. The workload was considerable as her area covered most of Northern Germany. Subsequently she was stationed at five other locations - Holland, Gibraltar, Cyprus,Berlin,andDsseldorf. As her time with SSAFA spanned military involvement in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan, she was in much demand by the families left at the bases, not only for childcare but for comfort and support. Now retired, she is a volunteer for SSAFA Forces Help in Kintyre.

THE KINTYRE WAY The Guild meeting on February 1st was led by Lindsay Mercer, who, after a short prayer and reading, welcomed Marcus Adams and Owen Paisley to talk about the Kintyre Way, Marcus explained how the walk was set up by the Kintyre Marketing Group. It opened on the 12th of August 2006, with funding mainly from Leader, HIE, and the Forestry Commission. Then a management company, The Long and Winding Way Company Limited, a charitable organisation, was formed, and took over the running of the enterprise in 2009. The services of Owen Paisley, as a self employed ranger, was obtained. Owen showed slides and gave various statistics on the walk and how it was managed, relying on the goodwill of landowners. One third of its 100 mile length is on forestry commission land, a second third is on private land, and a final third is on public roads.

ABC CARE SERVICE PROPOSALSImprovements to the way older people in Argyll and Bute receive their care services moved one step closer today (3rd Febriuary) after Argyll and Bute Council agreed to issue tenders to private companies interested in providing at-home, residential and day care. The decision is a result of a complete review of older peoples services, which started more than two years ago, and has involved extensive consultation with staff, service users and families. Current research suggests that people are happier and healthier if they receive care in their own home. The council has been exploring ways to make this possible for more people and believes the tendering exercise will help make this possible. Councillor Andrew Nisbet, spokesperson for social affairs said: This is a very positive step towards our long-term goal of providing better care for older people. We know that people in Argyll and Bute are living longer, and are staying healthier as they get older. Changing the way we care for them now means that as the population gets older and lives for longer the options available will be closer to what people want the option to remain in their own home or in more modern residential facilities. Tenders will be issued at the end of May. Final decisions about whether or not to accept any of the tenders will have to be made by the full council. The immediate concern for those presently receiving care is the retention of the present local carers, who give magnificent service. Ed.

GETTING OUT OF BEDTHE LATEST C.H.P. MEETING John Dreghorn, speaking on Campbeltown Hospital Redesign, gave a very informative talk regarding the redesign of hospital services. There is going to be a modernisation of services which will focus on beds. There is a requirement to increase the space between beds and have more single rooms. There is going to be a shift of balance from care in hospital to more care in the community because of an under utilisation of beds in Campbeltown. A project group will be set up to look at options available. It is planned to utilise space which is made available from reducing the number of beds for further consulting rooms for out-patient clinics and for the mental health team. Funding will also be put into mental health services to improve community services. 8

A unique training event was held in Campbeltown on 19th and 20th January 2011. The Lead Sheet Association travelled up from Kent to deliver a traditional lead-work training at the Employability Team workshop in Kinloch Road on behalf of the Campbeltown Town-scape Heritage Initiative (THI). A total of ten local contractors and building professionals attended the sessions. The course content included; methods of detailing and fixing lead sheet, followed by basic principles of bossing and welding leadsheet. All delegates learned new skills that have centuries old traditions but are still relevant in todays Construction industry. The Lead Sheet Association is the foremost independent technical authority on the design, specification and application of Rolled Lead Sheet to BS EN 12588: 2006 in the construction industry. The event was organised by the Campbeltown Town-scape Heritage Initiative (THI) and is the latest in series of courses aimed at local contractors. For information regarding traditional training courses for contractors please contact the Campbeltown THI on 01586 559048.

SERVICE & SUPPLIES (N.P.T.A)Prompt & Efficient Attention

For further details please call 01583 431 650 their discomfort, which would of course mean that he or she and the trainee would both have to be in close proximity to each other when the acute bouts of pain occurred - an unlikely circumstance. Thus it is manifestly obvious that these unfortunate people would benefit greatly from regular dental treatment which would minimise the likelihood of sudden onsets of dental pain, (c) I personally find it rewarding, stimulating, enjoyable and sometimes extremely hilarious working with the trainees as a dental surgeon. My objective was that those who so wished should come to my surgery in the same way as the rest of the general public, making their own appointments and taking responsibility for their own dental welfare, thus opening up another range of experiences to them and integrating them into the community further. This latter philosophy has of course always been that of the staff at the centre. Integrating the trainees into my waiting room was far easier than I thought it would be. Dental waiting rooms are, unfortunately, places of tension and terror for most people, but the sight of a rather well-built young lady wearing an Ipswich Town football shirt and Norwich City socks, training shoes, fast asleep and snoring gently did a lot to palliate most peoples' tension and terror. Also seeing the feared dentist having to bargain with one of his patients (cigars changed hands) to get him to come into the surgery for treatment was a new experience for them. Being sold raffle tickets by somebody, who on being asked what the prizes were replied 'we don't know yet - we'll see how many tickets we sell and then we'll buy the prizes' really amused a turf accountant for obvious reasons. I think, however, one of my most rewarding experiences was being told by one of the trainees that he didnt want to see me early on Friday morning because he knew that Mr. Elliston and I met in the Fox on Thursday evening later in the day, maybe, but not first time on a Friday morning. That's integration for you'.

DENTAL TREATMENT FOR THE MENTALLY HANDICAPPED ADULTBY AN ANONYMOUS DENTAL SURGEON With the new Campbeltown Dental Centre opening its doors to everyone, not just those registered with Messrs Duncan and Woodrow (or those with learning difficulties) it is questionable if the comments contained in the following article from an Adult Training Centre magazine in the 1970s would now be considered professionally acceptable, politically correct, or even vaguely amusing. You must make up your own mind. At a meeting held in the Fox, Eastgate Street, Bury St. Edmunds on Thursday 24th. April 1974, it was proposed by G. T, Elliston Esq., Manager of the Adult Training Centre, and seconded by me, a dental surgeon, that those trainees who were in need of dental care and were not in the care of another dental practitioner should, if they so desired, get it from me. The motion was carried unanimously; there were no abstentions. Moderation may have a place in the Fox but certainly NOT abstinence. The meeting had been convened at that venue and time for three reasons: (a) we were thirsty, (b) I and my partners had been seeing several trainees as emergency patients, which usually meant that we just alleviated their immediate dental problem but did nothing to prevent further dental disasters. I feel strongly that anybody who has had toothache and has received treatment for that toothache then becomes a firm believer in the maxim "prevention is better than cure." Whether they do anything about it is another matter, but they certainly believe it. Another factor to be taken into consideration was that a minority of the trainees were unable to verbalise the fact that they had toothache and so would suffer unnecessarily unless a member of the staff was perceptive enough to realise the cause of

QUIZZLE 10 RESULTSThank you and well done to all those who supported and who took part in Quizzle 10 thereby raising funds for Carradale Village Hall There was a good response with many locals, their relatives and friends taking part so it again amassed a national audience. Entries were returned from far and wide, and we hope entertainment and enjoyment was had by all who took part. It was a very keen and close run competition. Once again, as in past years, it took some time to research legitimate and permissible alternatives on the Internet. Some answers although very inventive had to be rejected. Never the less, they get full marks for ingenuity. Congratulations, to Donald & Mary Macalister Hall and to Chris Chantler from Bath - who both got full marks. According to Quizzle rules the ultimate winner will therefore have be decided by a draw which will take place at the next Village Hall Committee Meeting and the outcome will be published in the next edition. Three entries were just one answer short of the full complement. These were those of Helen Gurr( from Cornwall) The Macalister Hall family from away and The Abernethy family from Portsmouth. Ian Currie was two answers short, David Hornsby (Janes brother in law) three short, and Margaret Walsh four. All these runners up or nearly made it deserve a mention as they all did very well. Tony and I continue to be amazed by the on-going interest in what is now seems to have become an annual Carradale institution. By popular demand we are searching for items to be included in Quizzle 11 which will be out in November. In the meantime Happy quizzing in 2011. M.L . Thanks go to Margaret and Tony for their dogged persistence in prodding locals and visitors to be enmeshed for months on end, delaying meals and failing to keep their commitments by putting in one or two more answers; truly a commendable enterprise. Ed.
