A MESSAGE from the Revd
James Mustard (right),
Rector of St Mary’s Church.
THIS YEAR will see many exciting developments at
St Mary’s Church.
LOOKING forward
to joining us as
curate in June: Sam
Korn, with his
fiancée Donna
Allison. The couple
are to be married in
September.
Like Rector James,
Sam is a Cambridge
graduate and has
spent two years
working at St
Albans Abbey.
He has a message
for us on page four.
Our expanding church is . . .
OPEN TO ALL
In late June we will welcome
Sam Korn as our newly-
ordained Assistant Curate. I
am delighted that Sam and
his fiancée Donna will be
joining us in East Barnet and
I know he will receive a very
warm welcome from you
all. He introduces himself
elsewhere in this issue.
Later this year, we will re-
launch our 1000+ Fundrais-
ing Appeal for the renova-
tion and development of the
church. As I write, we have
presented our proposed plans
to the congregation and the
East Barnet Residents Asso-
ciation. We are preparing to
submit our plans to the Di-
ocesan Advisory Committee
and once we have achieved
its approval, we will submit
them to the borough for
planning permission.
So this is, as I said at the
start, a very exciting time for
us at St Mary’s and all of us
in East Barnet.
Our ministry team is expand-
ing and we are preparing to
nurture our ancient building,
provide much needed facili-
ties for our whole commu-
nity and offer a church that
is open for all.

Our plans meet three key needs
of the church and community:
First, we intend to provide im-
proved access to Saint Mary’s
church and improved ease of
movement throughout the build-
ing.
Secondly, we wish to offer a
suite of rooms flowing from the
existing church that will enable
us to extend our Sunday mission
and ministry, and provide facili-
ties for the whole community for
the rest of the week.
Thirdly, we will renovate the
interior of the existing building,
redecorating our ancient church,
providing a new, stone floor and
improved heating, lighting and
sound systems.
A central aspect of the plans, one
that has gained favour with Eng-
lish Heritage and other heritage
bodies, is that we wish to see the
church itself usable by the com-
munity for a wider variety of
community activities and events
than is currently possible.
The church’s working space is
the “hub” of the proposed plans,
with additional spaces flowing
from it. In this way, we seek to
recover the sense of the church
as a “community hall”.
Because of this, the additions
that we propose are more modest
than in previous drafts. This
means that there will be no visual
impact upon the view of the
church from Church Hill Road
and only three trees (a sycamore,
a hawthorn and a holly bush) will
be felled.
We are very well aware of the
sensitive nature of the site and
are committed to preserving it for
future generations while at the
same time providing a facility for
the future benefit of the whole
community.
To fund this, the hall (further
down Church Hill Road, opposite
Oak Hill Park), which has been
closed for four years, will be sold
with planning permission for
housing.
But to complete this project we
will also have to do a great deal
of fundraising. More information
about our fundraising campaign
will follow in the next couple of
months, but if you would like to
know more, or would like to help
with this in some way, do please
feel free to contact me.

By Sam Korn
I AM delighted to introduce my-
self ahead of my arrival as your
new curate later this year. I will,
of course, get to know you prop-
erly when I arrive at the end of
June, but let me give you a little
information about myself…
While my origins lie in the south-
east of England, “home” for me is
really Monmouth, where I went to
school and my parents still live. The
major consequence of my Welsh
upbringing is a firm belief that life
is only good when the Welsh rugby
team is losing.
My Christian journey began in my
early teens, when I was introduced
to the Church through my school
chaplaincy and my parish church. I
served at the altar for several years:
this was an important part of my
development as a Christian and had
a large role in my calling to the
priesthood.
Aged 18, I went to Trinity Hall,
Cambridge, to study theology for
three years. Before I went to univer-
sity, people told me to be sure that
my studies didn’t ruin my faith. I’m
glad to say that they did not! In-
stead, my faith became stronger,
and I realised that I had to explore
my calling more thoroughly.
I therefore spent two years after my
graduation working at St Albans
Abbey. This was a role intended to
help me explore my calling. I there-
fore spent time teaching, preaching,
mopping, visiting the sick, moving
furniture, and working with chil-
dren and young people. (Hopefully
this range of tasks will have pre-
pared me well for ordained minis-
try.)
In April 2012 I was approved for
training for ordination. Since Sep-
tember 2012, I have been at West-
cott House in Cambridge, studying
for an MA as part of my training. I
have been on an extended parish
placement in Manchester, and have
had a regular attachment to a Cam-
bridge parish.
Currently, I am studying at the Ecu-
menical Institute in Bossey, near
Geneva. This is a programme run
by the World Council of Churches
for members of the various Chris-
tian churches across the world to
come together and live, pray and
study together as we seek Christian
unity. I have learnt a great deal
from being in Bossey, though I am
also looking forward to getting back
to the traditions that I know and
love! I will return to Cambridge at
the beginning of this, where I will
finish my course in June.
The year 2014 promises to be a
busy one for me: after my ordina-
tion to the diaconate in June, I will
be married to Donna in September.
She comes from County Durham
and works for John Lewis in their
head office in Victoria.
I am a theologian at heart, with par-
ticular interest in ecumenical and
moral theology. Outside the sphere
of theology, however, I enjoy cook-
ing, listening to music (I am a big
fan of Bruce Springsteen) and cy-
cling, where I use enthusiasm to
compensate for a complete lack of
talent.
I am very much looking forward to
meeting each of you and to begin-
ning my ministry among you.
Please pray for me and for Donna
as we prepare for the major changes
in our lives. I will, of course, be
praying for you.
OUR NEW
CURATE
Sam is looking forward
to joining us in June
Church Hill Herald February 2014—5
AT A STORE checkout, the
young cashier suggested to the
older woman that she should
bring her own shopping bags in
the future because plastic bags
were not good for the environ-
ment.
The woman apologised and ex-
plained, “We didn't have this green
thing back in my earlier days.” The
cashier responded: “That's our prob-
lem today. Your generation did not
care enough to save our environ-
ment for future generations.” She
was right - our generation didn't
have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bot-
tles, jam jars, soft drink bottles and
beer bottles to the shop. The shop
sent them back to the plant to be
washed, sterilized and refilled, so
that the same bottles were used over
and over again. So they were fully
recycled. We refilled writing pens
with ink instead of buying a new
pen and we replaced the blades in
our razors instead of throwing away
the whole razor just because the
blade had become blunt. But she
was right. We didn't have the green
thing back in our day.
Back then, we walked up and down
stairs because we didn't have escala-
tors or lifts. We walked to shops and
didn't climb into 150 horsepower
machines every time we had to
travel two or three streets. But she
was right. We didn't have the green
thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's
nappies because it didn't occur to us
to throw them away when they be-
came soiled. We dried clothes on a
washing line, not in an energy gob-
bling machine burning up 2,200
watts — wind and solar power
really did dry our clothes. Kids got
hand-me-down clothes. But that
young lady is right. We didn't have
the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV or radio
in the house - not a TV in every
room. In the kitchen, we blended
and stirred by hand because we did-
n't have electric machines to do eve-
rything for us. We used a push
mower that ran on human power.
We exercised by working so we
didn't need to go to a health club or
run on a treadmill that operates on
electricity. But she
is right. We didn't
have the green thing back then.
Back then, we drank water drawn
from a fountain or tap when we
were thirsty, instead of demanding a
plastic bottle flown in from another
country. We accepted that a lot of
food was seasonal and didn't expect
to have out of season products
flown thousands of air miles around
the world. We actually cooked food
that didn't come out of a packet, tin
or plastic wrapping and we even
washed vegetables and chopped
salad. But she was right. We didn't
have the green thing back then.
Back then, people caught a train or
a bus and kids walked, or rode their
bikes to school instead of turning to
their parents in 24-hour taxi service.
We had one socket in a room, not an
entire bank of sockets to power a
dozen appliances and we didn't need
a computerised gadget to receive
signals beamed from satellites 2,000
miles in space to find the nearest
fish shop. But she was right. We
didn't have the green thing back
then.
When you think back, it makes
you wonder whether we are actu-
ally making progress today!

BACK THEN Did we really care about

DID YOU make any new year’s
resolutions last month?
If you did, how many have you
broken so far? If you didn’t, it’s
just as well.
For a 2007 study involving 3,000
people showed that 88 per cent of
those who set New Year
resolutions fail, despite the fact
that 52 per cent of the study's
participants were confident of
success at the beginning. Men
achieved their goal 22 per cent
more often when they engaged
in goal setting, (a system where
small measurable goals are being
set; such as a pound a week,
instead of saying “lose weight”),
while women succeeded 10 per
cent more when they made their
goals public and got support from
their friends.
Making resolutions goes back
centuries.
The ancient Babylonians made
promises to their gods at the start
of each year that they would
return borrowed objects and pay
their debts. The Romans began
each year by making promises to
the god Janus, for whom the
month of January is named
In the Medieval era,
the knights took the “peacock
vow” at the end of the Christmas
season to re-affirm their
commitment to chivalry.
There are other religious parallels
to this tradition. During Judaism's
new year, Rosh Hashanah,
through the high holidays and
culminating in Yom Kippur (the
Day of Atonement), one is to
reflect on one's wrongdoings over
the year and both seek and offer
forgiveness.
People may act similarly during
the Christian fasting period
of Lent, though the motive behind
this holiday is more of sacrifice
than of responsibility, in fact the
practice of New Year's resolutions
partially came from the Lenten
sacrifices. The concept, regardless
of creed, is to reflect upon self-
improvement annually.
Quoting Frank Ra, author of a
new year's resolution book A
course in happiness: “Resolutions
are more sustainable when shared,
both in terms of with whom you
share the benefits of your
resolution, and with whom you
share the path of maintaining your
resolution. Peer-support makes a
difference in success rate with
new year's resolutions”.
A serious view on what is,
frankly, not a subject that is taken
seriously when you consider that
aforementioned 88 per cent!

IN APRIL 1911, on the occasion of the Coronation of
the Queen, St Mary’s magazine asked for donations
from the Maries of the British Empire for a gift to Her
Majesty.
The gift was to be limited to those who bore the name of
Mary, Maria, May, Marian or Marion. (This would have
been the Coronation of George V and his wife, Princess
Mary of Teck, who became Queen Mary on June 22).
The June issue noted that on Coronation
Day there would be a celebration of Holy
Communion at 8 o’clock, with another
service at 11 o’clock, when the Special
Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving, com-
mended by the Archbishops, would be
used.
It was also noted that secular festivities
were in the capable hands of the civil au-
thorities!
Meanwhile, in the accounts published in
the May 1911 magazine were some inter-
esting expenses – washing surplices
£1.16s.9d – church cleaner £11.0.0 – sex-
ton’s salary £16.0.0 – organ blower
£2.12s.0d – labour for upkeep of church-
yard £32.8s.0d
School treat In July, it was reported that 55 children
had attended every children’s service dur-
ing the previous six months, while another
55 had missed only one service, and Sep-
tember saw reports of the Sunday school
treat to Sutton-on-Sea, Lincolnshire and a
repeat performance of the fairy play, this
time in the rectory garden.
Moving forward to May 1912, it was re-
ported that electric lighting had been in-
stalled in the church, replacing candles,
but there had been slow progress made
with the building of the new vestries. It
was also reported that at the annual Easter
vestry, the two churchwardens proposed
and seconded that:- the parishioners of
East Barnet, in vestry assembled, strongly
protest against the proposal to dismember
the church by cutting off from the Prov-
ince of Canterbury the four Welsh Dio-
ceses. (Disestablishment was effected in 1920, under the
Welsh Church Act 1914. It kept all its church buildings
including those that dated to before the Reformation.)

8—Church Hill Herald February 2014
VALENTINE’S DAY is coming up
again, which always makes my hus-
band cringe.
He is one of those men who refuse to
give their loved one a present, be-
cause in their opinion Valentine’s
Day is an invention of a bunch of
greedy shopkeepers.
No cards or roses can be expected
coming my way, and no chocolates or
diamonds either. Year after year I see
Valentine’s Day come and go without
a gift, while every woman in the
neighbourhood seems to have re-
ceived fabulous presents from the
man in their lives.
This year I’ll listen to their Valen-
tine’s boastings with a knowing smile
on my face, because I have finally
discovered the truth. Research has
shown that most women lie about
their Valentine’s presents. According
to statistics, your best friend who
smugly boasts about her lovely Val-
entine’s gifts, ranging from silky un-
derwear to a weekend at a posh spa
resort, has probably just received a
card and a limp bunch of carnations
from her boyfriend – if at all.
We girls have to keep up with the
Joneses, don’t we, and what’s wrong
with boasting a tiny bit to make them
jealous? In turn, of course, Miss
Jones will also generously add to her
list of Valentine’s gifts when she
talks about it in the office, and her
work colleague can’t possibly admit
she didn’t even get a card because her
husband thinks Valentine’s Day is an
invention by a bunch of greedy trad-
ers. It’s a vicious circle and only a
truly exceptional gift can catapult you
out. Something really special, so here
are a few ideas:
Give her treats
that she loves Make a gift basket filled with treats
she especially loves. This could be
her favourite sweets, a voucher for a
massage, cinema tickets for two,
some pearly nail varnish, you name
it. These are all wonderful basket
fillers (a woven bread basket is per-
fect for the task), and why not deliver
it yourself to her office or wherever
you’d like her to fall around your
neck in delight?
If your loved one isn’t into sweets, a
Valentine’s fruit basket should do the
trick. Apples, pears, bananas… At-
tach a tag to each fruit with ribbon.
“You are the apple of my eye”. “You
are pear-fect”. “I go bananas for
you!”
Pamper her like a princess. Is she a
waitress, a nurse, a shop assistant?
Someone on her feet all day? Buy her
a foot bath, foot cream and give her a
foot massage. Is she an overworked
mum? Give her a night of relaxation
away from the kids. For instance, buy
her lovely smelling bath crystals,
along with a new thick bath towel,
scrub brush, and a scented candle.
Throw in a CD of her favourite re-
laxation music – I recommend Mi-
chael Bublé (Michael Bublé Bath? -
Ed). Chill a bottle of wine for her.
Fill the tub. Then cook dinner for the
kids.
Are you musical? Write her a song
and she’ll be yours forever. Can’t
carry a tune? Then make her a mix-
tape of songs that remind you of her.
Even if you can’t sing, they can. And
this will woo her far better than you
can when crooning the songs, if you
can’t croon, though she’d probably
still like it anyway.
Not into music? Why not make her a
scrapbook with nice memories about
last year, your first date, your wed-
ding, or the disastrous angling trip
where you fell into the pond? You
could also start each page with “I
love you because…” and then write a
different reason underneath why you
love her so much.
Wake her in the morning with a nice
cup of tea, having replaced the logo
dangling from the tea bag with a self-
made heart shaped one (in red, of
course, and with I LOVE YOU in
bold print).

Another great idea is a home-cooked
meal for the lady of your heart. Here
are three nice and easy recipes from
my Italian cook book. The author is
quite certain that they work a treat
when it comes to matters of the heart.
Results guaranteed!
Zuppa d’amore calabrese
(Calabrian love soup)
1/2l instant vegetable soup, 1 pack of
rice, 3 tblsp grated parmesan cheese,
freshly grated nutmeg, 3 egg yolks, 1
pinch of salt, 1 tsp chopped chives.
Bring soup to the boil. Add rice and
let simmer for about 20 min until the
rice is cooked. In the meantime
whisk the egg yolks in a soup bowl,
and add the grated cheese and the
grated nutmeg. Slightly salt and mix.
As soon as the rice is cooked, add
soup and rice to the mixture, stirring
continuously. Garnish with chopped
chives. Nutmeg is a great aphrodi-
siac, says the author, but don’t
overdo it! Use sparingly and add a
bit, if necessary.
Baci d’angelo (Angel’s kisses)
4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream, 4
cups of strong black coffee, whipped
cream, 40 ml Amaretto or egg li-
queur (Advocaat).
Put ice into two large glasses, add
coffee, and top with whipped cream.
Now pour the alcohol over your crea-
tion.
Casanova
1 egg yolk, 2 tblsp sugar, 40 ml
Brandy, 100 ml port, 100ml milk, 20
ml single cream, 4 ice cubes, nutmeg
(even more aphrodisiac!)
Shake everything in the shaker until
the sugar has dissolved. Pour into
two glasses and add some freshly
grated nutmeg. This is a great drink
for after dinner on the sofa!
Why not make
a meal of it?

IT’S NOT LONG since we cele-
brated the Feast of the Epiph-
any, when our accomplished
story-teller Martin Horton re-
galed us with a rare legend.
We already knew, of course, that
the Bible does not actually state
there were three Magi — mysteri-
ous astronomers from the east —
who were led by a star to visit the
baby Jesus. But their names have
gone down in history as Balthasar,
Melchior and Caspar.
Here’s what Martin told our en-
thralled congregation: “Legend
tells us that there was a fourth wise
man, called Artaban, who travelled
from Persia to meet the other three,
carrying with him his gift for the
new king, three precious jewels: a
sapphire, a ruby and a pearl.
“On his way, Artaban met an old
Jew by the roadside, who was al-
most dying from fever, and he
stayed with the sick man until he
was well.
“The old Jew told Artaban that the
prophets had said that the new
King would be born in Bethlehem.
So Artaban sold his costly sapphire
to raise money for the journey, and
he set out for Bethlehem.
“But when he arrived in Bethle-
hem and made inquiries, he was
told that the other wise men had
left, three days before. A young
mother told him that the family he
was seeking had fled, and that
Bethlehem was in fear of King
Herod.
“While Artaban was with the
mother, the soldiers arrived with
orders to kill all the baby boys.
The young mother was frightened
for her young son and when the
captain of the soldiers ordered the
child to be killed, Artaban came to
the rescue and gave his ruby to the
soldiers to save the boy.
“Artaban searched for the King for
many years, although he only had
one of his gifts left - the pearl.
“Finally, after 30 years of search-
ing, he came to Jerusalem at the
time of the Passover. The city was
buzzing with talk about the man
named Jesus, who claimed to be
the son of God and who was to be
crucified.
“Artaban wondered whether he
could use his last jewel to save the
life of this man, Jesus. But as he
hurried through the streets of the
city Artaban came across a young
girl who was crying. She told
Artaban she was crying because
she was going to be sold into slav-
ery to pay her father’s debts.
“Artaban could not pass by and
leave the girl crying, so he gave
her the pearl, the last of his three
jewels.
“At that moment the city was
rocked by an earthquake and Arta-
ban saw Jesus on the cross. S o
Artaban was never able to worship
his king. And his three precious
gifts had been sold, or given away,
in order to help others during his
long journey.
“Later he met several of Jesus’s
disciples, and was able to talk with
them, and he heard what Christ
had said about faithful servants: ‘ I
tell you this, anything you did
for one of my brothers or sisters,
however humble, you did it for
me.’ “So Artaban had worshiped his
king and served him by using his
gifts to help other people. And this
is still our way of serving God, and
Jesus - by helping, sharing and
being kind to other people who are
in need.”
A super and meaningful little
story, for which we are grate-
ful to Martin.
It illustrates vividly one of the
great tenets of our faith:
HELP OTHERS.
AS I SEE IT By Mike Pearce
FOUR wise men?
This prayer of the Dalai Lama
will help you to help others.
May I become at all times, both
now and forever . . .
A protector for those without
protection
A guide for those who have
lost their way
A place of refuge for those
who lack shelter
A ship for those with oceans
to cross
A bridge for those with
rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in
danger
A lamp for those without light
A servant to all in need.

Tiarn: First we got on the train –
it was 21 stops. We went to the
IMAX to see King of Penguins.
The screen was as tall as three
double-decker buses. Next we
had lunch and we went in the
Launchpad.
Farah: We went to the Science
Museum; it was so cool. We had
a challenge to find answers to
questions in a book. The best bit
was when we went in the space
bit, it was very interesting. Also
we went to the IMAX. We had
to put on these giant 3D glasses.
The film was okay. It was about
penguins (very funny ones). It
was great fun for all of it.
Rosie: We went to Kaboom! at
the Science Museum in London.
It was extremely fun!! We did a
Time Travelling Scientists Chal-
lenge. We also went for a trip to
the IMAX cinema. We watched
penguins. When we had com-
pleted the Challenge we got a
goody bag and two badges. We
played with lots of things in the
Launchpad. My favourite thing
was the Shadow Trap.
Lucy S: On Saturday we went
to the Science Museum. We
went in the IMAX first and it
was a film about penguins. Then
we did a challenge. The best bit
was the IMAX. It was great fun.
Jessica: We went to the Science
Museum to see stuff that they
had. We first went to see the
IMAX. The elephant seals made
rude noises! We did the Time
Travelling Scientists Challenge.
We completed all of the ques-
tions; they were quite hard and
confusing. We had lunch. We
saw the amazing children’s play
area. It was very fun. I even
made a (free-standing) arch with
my friends and Little Owl.
Ellen: On Saturday morning we
went to the Science Museum.
First we went to the toilet. After
that we went to the IMAX. It
was all about penguins and it
was really funny. The film was
3D and you had to wear a special
pair of 3D glasses. Then we did
the T.T.S.C. When we finished
we went to get our goody bag
and in the bag was a key-ring
with a compass, a spring and lots
of other things. Last of all we
went shopping. I had £5 but all I
bought was a pen and a light up
bouncy ball. Anne Malloy,
Brownie Leader
Kaboom went the Brownies!
A great day out at the
Science Museum
FOR AN EVENT named Kaboom! the Science Museum wel-
comed more than 6,000 girls, members, leaders and volunteers
from London & South East England. The 2nd East Barnet
Brownies were part of that number. Here’s what some of those
girls had to say:

HOLY AND UNHOLY HUMOUR
A MIDDLE-AGED woman had a heart
attack and was taken to hospital. While on
the operating table she had a near death
experience.
Seeing God, she asked “Is my time
up?”
God said, “No, you have another 43 years
to live.”
On recovery, the woman decided to stay in
hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction and a
tummy tuck.
She even had someone come in and change
her hair colour and straighten and polish her
teeth!
Since she had so much more time to live, she
figured she might as well make the most
of it.
After her last operation, she was released
from the hospital.
While crossing the street on her way home,
she was run over by a bus and killed.
Arriving again in front of God, she
demanded, “I thought you said I had
another 43 years? Why didn't you
pull me from out of the path of the
bus?”
God replied: “I didn't flipping well recognise
you.!”

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist boring people with your troubles,

If you can understand when your loved ones
are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then you are probably the family dog!
you can start the day without caffeine,
you can relax without alcohol, IF

LATEST NEWS FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL
THE RECTOR reported that
since our last meeting it had
been a very busy few weeks.
He congratulated the eight can-
didates who were confirmed by
the Bishop of St Albans at the
Cathedral on November 2. They
were aged between 13 and over
80! Our All Souls Day service
had again been a moving occa-
sion, shared with Colin Smith
and Brookside Methodist
Church. We had a very success-
ful quiz evening raising funds
for our 1000+ Appeal.
Poignant The Remembrance Sunday Ser-
vice had been held at Brookside
with increased attendance. We
are planning for next year’s ser-
vice, which will, because of the
WWI centenary, be poignant.
The autumn teaching course,
based on heresy, was well at-
tended and provoked discussion.
James was pleased to report that
a new children’s choir was being
established. Ten children drawn
from St Mary’s and Church Hill
schools were rehearsing each
week at Brookside.
The Rector advised the PCC that
the Diocesan Advisory Board
was very supportive of our de-
velopment proposals, as were the
major historic bodies. In the new
year a special committee would
be set up to put together a busi-
ness plan for the new buildings
and renovated church. This is
vital if we are to gain funding
from the Heritage Lottery Fund
and other bodies.
Next June we will be welcoming
a new Assistant Curate, Sam
Korn (see page 4}. Sam and his
wife to be, are very much look-
ing forward to joining us. The
hunt is on to find suitable ac-
commodation for them.
By November 39 people had
responded to our stewardship
campaign .As a result, pledged
giving had increased by £1,660 a
year. There was also a one-off
donation.
Deficit In spite of the generosity of
those members of the congrega-
tion who had increased their giv-
ing the treasurer reported that
church finances continued to run
at a deficit which had to be met
from our ever reducing reserves.
Roger Melling, lay chair
It’s never too late
to be confirmed!
Church Hill Herald February 2014—19
This was a game
that should never
have been played BARNET have been very much
in the news lately. Following our
Number One player/coach, Ed-
gar Davids, seeing a lot of red
(referees’ cards rather than fury
in the dressing room!) he has
announced that he is considering
retiring from playing the game.
Opinion is divided as to whether
all the red cards have been justi-
fied.
What is safe to say, however, is
that the standard of refereeing in
Conference football leaves a lot to
be desired. For example, on New
Year’s Day our match against Lu-
ton continued in atrocious and dan-
gerous conditions, perhaps in part
due to pressure from the television
company screening the match.
February, though a short month, is
a busy one on the road for the lads.
All matches start at 3pm unless
otherwise stated:
Saturday 1st Away to Maccles-
field Town. We lost 1-2 when we
played them at home earlier in the
season. Last year they finished
11th in the Conference, having
been relegated in 2012, and they
are currently mid-table. The Silk-
men play at their Moss Rose sta-
dium, which has a capacity of
about 6000.
Saturday 8th Away to Forest
Green Rovers. This team is based
in Gloucestershire and is currently
the longest serving side in the
Conference. They are currently
mid table. Interesting parallels
with Barnet are that their pitch
used to have a slope, and that they
are playing in a relatively new
5000 capacity stadium opened in
2006. Magno Viera, a former Bee,
now plays for them.
Saturday 15th Home to Tam-
worth. We drew 0-0 when we
played them away. The Lambs
finished in the lower part of the
table last year, and are near the
bottom this season.
Tuesday 18th at 7.45 pm Home to
Grimsby Town. The Mariners are
near the top of the table and we
lost 2-1 when we played them
away, as well as losing when we
played them in the FA Cup this
season, so we have a lot to prove.
They finished near the top of the
table last year and their stadium
has a capacity of 9,500. Sacha
Baron Cohen is among their fa-
mous fans, and Bee loan player
Aswad Thomas now plays for
them.
Saturday 22nd Away to Wrex-
ham. The Dragons are currently
mid table but finished high last
year. We drew 1-1 when we
played them at home. They are the
oldest football club in Wales and
the third oldest professional team
in the world. Their stadium has a
capacity of 11000.
For full details of coaches to away
and home games (including stops
in Barnet) and ways to support the
club, please see the club website.
