The Manor of Henley-in-Arden Court Leet and Court Baron  | Court Circular Published by Authority of the High Bailiff | |
|
|
The Court Leet hosts Rotarians visiting the 100th Rotary World Convention. At Henley Market
Cross on Monday afternoon the 22nd June thirty American Rotarians
alighted from a Johnsons’ coach to be met by the Town Crier, the
Henley Rotary President Michael Redman, the High Bailiff, and members
of the Court Leet. The Rotary President formally welcomed the visitors
to the town, and introduced the party to their hosts for the afternoon,
the Court Leet. The High Bailiff then invited the guests to make the
short walk to the Guild Hall for the start of their town tour.  In
the Guild Hall the Rotarians were briefed by the High Bailiff on the
origins of Henley and the role played by The Court and Court Baron in
the town’s development. The High Bailiff concluded his talk by
asking each individual Court Officer to talk about their own
responsibilities and duties on the Court. The role of Ale-Taster seemed
to catch the imaginations of the visitors and the High Bailiff had to
promise to hold a re-enactment of an ale tasting in one of the
town’s taverns at the end of the tour. Next, the tour party paid
brief visits to St Johns’ and St Nicholas’ Churches and
Castle Mount before a visit to Henley Heritage Centre.
In the Heritage Centre Ray and
Ann Holding took charge and introduced the visitors to the town’s
collection of historical documents and array of precious artifacts
lovingly restored and displayed in the Centre. Naturally, the name of
Joseph Hardy, American Businessman and past Lord of the Manor of Henley
in Arden, featured in their talk and Ray said, ‘The Americans
were delighted to learn of this historic link.’ To top the tour,
and before leaving the centre, our Rotarians were treated to a cup of
English brewed tea and a piece of homemade cake! 
While our visitors were having
tea the High Bailiff had a surprise visitor, none other than Dong Kurn
Lee, the Rotary International World President and his entire
family. The President’s family, together with David Butler,
Rotary 1060 Assistant District Governor, were on their way to visit
Stratford upon Avon but had stopped for a Henley Ice Cream! President
Lee liked the ice cream. Credit crunch or no credit crunch, the
question is, ‘Did Cindy Britten seize the opportunity to seal a
contract to export Henley Ice Cream to South Korea and save the jobs of
Henley workers? The next stop for our visitors
was a visit to an old coaching inn: as any visitor to Henley would
concur, you cannot leave Henley without ‘wetting your
whistle’ in one or other of the town’s taverns. In this
case it was to be The White Swan where landlady Linda, as well as
explaining the historic significance of The White Swan, allowed a
number of the group to visit the haunted bed chamber above the old
stable block. While in the bar below, and as promised, the High Bailiff
conducted a re-enactment of the ancient art of ale tasting! Before leaving The White Swan
for a meeting of the Henley Rotary Club, the visiting Rotarians raised
a glass to thank the Court Leet for its hospitality, with the promise
of sending even more Rotarians to test the ale and to visit the ancient
market town of Henley in Arden.

Johnsons make their mark with Rotary International Local coach operator Johnsons have just
completed a marathon of international proportions in their role as the
officially appointed coach operator for all pre and post tours for
Rotary International during their annual convention, held this year at
the NEC. 
Eighteen months of meticulous planning came
to fruition as visitors from all over the world booked holidays and day
excursions with Johnsons to take full advantage of their stay in the UK. The convention covered a 7 day period from
Thursday the 18th through to Wednesday 24th June and Johnsons manned a
sales stand for over 10 hours a day, with up to 10 staff taking
bookings; consequently there was a steady stream of bookings from some
of the 15,000 or more delegates in attendance.  John
Johnson, Director of Johnsons Coach & Bus, said “It was an
immense honour to be appointed by Rotary International; we provided a
comprehensive programme of holidays in the UK, Ireland and Europe
together with day and half day excursions, taking in some of the world
renowned attractions that the region has to offer, including Blenheim
Palace, The Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Chatsworth, Ironbridge and
The Black Country Museum. With so many visitors coming from abroad
including America, Japan, Korea, China, Australia and of course
continental Europe, this was a fascinating and rewarding project to be
involved with. We had a large team on site for the duration and were
kept busy. Initial feedback from passengers has been very positive.
"This, however, was only part of our
involvement with Rotary International: the company also provided more
than 25 vehicles per day for the numerous hotel transfers and the
transportation for the off-site events organised by local Rotary
groups. This was a complex operation involving over 50% of Johnsons
fleet. To cope with demand we operated virtually twenty four hours a
day for the duration of the Convention and set up dedicated operations,
traffic management and sales teams to cover the event.” |

Henley Cricket Week In celebrating 100 years of cricket at
Henley, this is only from the new ground which was situated on the 1st
fairway of Henley Golf Club some 9 iron shot from the tee. The ground
was known as Parsons Field after the family that owned Crocketts Manor
Farm. In the early 1930s, the Club moved (still on
Crocketts Manor) to what is now the 4th fairway off Bear Lane. Alec
Bailey was very involved at this time and it is apparent from the
scores that ground preparation had improved greatly. In 1948 we moved
again to our current home. However, Henley played cricket long before
1909. The Stratford Herald of 19 July 1861 records a game between
Stratford and Henley. Most of the Henley team can be traced. Samuel Hollingsworth Agar - Physician - aged 37
John Griffin - future Secretary of the Gas Works - aged 35
Josiah Gilbert - assistant to John Burman Draper & Banker - aged 22
William Banberry - master at the British School
George Harrison - a chair maker
James Wakefield - a cooper & future low bailiff
John Stilgoe - linen & woolen draper
Thomas Day - a tanner
Two other players, S. Edkins and A Harris, are probably from long standing Henley families. There is obviously a lot of information
between then and now which we do not know about. We would like any
snippets you are aware of. Did your father or grandfather play? Do you
have any photos?

3 Generations celebrate success at Tennis Club Henley in Arden Tennis Club held
their annual club championships and Open Day at the Stratford Road
clubhouse last Sunday and, despite reports of flash flooding only 5
miles away, Henley escaped the deluge and everyone enjoyed a great
afternoon of tennis. 
Sara Butler beat daughter Lucy 3-6, 6-2,
11-9 to win the ladies singles, and was presented with the trophy by
her mother in law, former member, Beryl. Sara then went on to win the
ladies doubles title with Gillian Henson 6-0, 6-0 and the mixed doubles
title with our youngest winner Farrell Treacy 6-3, 6-2. 
The men’s singles was a very close
match between club coach Neil Supperstone and Henley A team member Ben
Summers. Ben won the first set 7-6, lost the second set 6-7, and was
finally beaten 8-10 in the championship tie break. Meanwhile his father
Rob Summers won the men’s doubles, with Matthew Williams 6-3,
3-6, 10-8. Refreshments were served and club members
were joined by family, supporters and potential new members who had
come to enjoy a taste of the friendly club. Henley was especially
delighted to welcome several local schoolchildren who they are coaching
in local schools as part of a WLTA initiative. For information on the
club please contact club secretary Judith Mathias on 01564 792378. Jane Palmer reporting |

David Wilson Puts Henley on the Map  Housebuilder David Wilson Mercia
has historic Henley in Arden all mapped out with the town’s very
first official A to Z. The map, which also includes a list of places to
eat and drink and things to see and do, has been funded by David Wilson
and produced with the help of the local Council. Copies are now
available at the Heritage Centre on the High Street as well as at the
David Wilson sales office at its Henley Point development.
The new map also illustrates Henley’s
newest street, William James Way, where David Wilson’s Henley
Point development is located. It was named after Henley’s most
historically significant son, William James, who pioneered the concept
of passenger railways at the start of the 19th Century. Julia Chapman, Sales Manager for David
Wilson, pictured with the first copies of the map adds, “Very
often our new homes will form part of a location’s growing
community so producing this map is a great way for us to announce the
new street name and provide a useful tool for our customers. Better
still the thousands of visitors to Henley each year will now have all
the town’s attractions at their finger tips.” David Wilson has a selection of one- and
two-bedroom apartments remaining for sale at Henley Point. Prices start
from £139,950. For more information call the sales office, open
daily from 10am until 5pm, on 01564 793 833. |

open evening last Wednesday. The aliens game was one of many
attractions that young and old enjoyed when local Beavers, Cubs and
Scouts got together to demonstrate their camping, survival and cooking
skills. Henley High Bailiff Roger Sutton opened proceedings and prizes
were awarded to teams who demonstrated skills and enthusiasm. The troop, which originated in 1911 and is
the longest running group in Warwickshire, has seen its numbers swell
by 40% over the last few years. The Open evening gave all an
opportunity to celebrate another very successful year of scouting. The troop welcomes interest from
prospective new members and any adults who can offer their time or

Johnsons Coach Holiday features on BBC Radio 4  Johnsons
are to be featured in a fly on the wall, BBC Radio 4 programme entitled
“Touring Round Torquay”. Radio presenter Steve Carver, took
on the role of a Johnsons courier for the duration of a 6 day holiday
to Dawlish and South Devon early in June.
John Johnson, Director, Johnsons Coach &
bus said “Although we have had no editorial control, we readily
agreed to the production of this programme and at the time of going to
press have not heard the content but we have been assured by Senior
Producer, Lucy Lunt, that the programme captures the atmosphere and the
friendliness and enjoyment of a coach tour, put together in a highly
entertaining programme, as seen through Steve’s eyes, whilst he
performed his courier duties. We are honoured that Radio 4 chose
Johnsons and look forward to listening to the programme when it is
transmitted.” John added “We are also pleased
that the programme highlighted the benefits of a coach holiday to a
national audience.”
Touring Round Torquay - Friday 17 July
11.00-11.30am BBC RADIO 4 Steve Carver becomes a coach holiday courier and takes a party of 34 people on a six-day tour of South Devon. In search of the perfect holiday job last
summer, in Dancing Round The Med Steve Carver tried his hand at being a
gentleman host on a cruise ship. This summer, as the recession bites
and with a thought for the environment, Steve is trying his hand as a
coach holiday courier, courtesy of Johnsons Coaches based in the Midlands. They run coach holidays all over Britain and
the continent throughout the year. Their staff are experienced, their
customers loyal and mainly over the age of 70. On a wet June morning
Steve cheerily greets his passengers as they board the bus but, within
five minutes, some customers are complaining they've been given the
wrong seats, while others are concerned their luggage has not been
loaded. Steve has the skill and experience of fellow
courier, Val, and driver Paul, to fall back on when the going gets
tough. Val knows when indigestion is disguising itself as a heart
attack and can remain cool when customers complain their room in a
hotel in the centre of Cardiff has no sea view. Paul confides how to
put a positive spin on getting lost and why one should never
underestimate the power of a boiled sweet. Producer/Lucy Lunt BBC Radio 4 Publicity |

John Garner's Business Column Slamming! Not Scamming but Slamming!  A
friend of mine recently had a call, completely out of the blue, from a
telephone company suggesting she might like to switch to them away from
her existing provider. After a short conversation she said “No
thanks” and ended the call. A month or so later she received a
bill from this company for calls she had allegedly made. Furthermore,
she returned from a holiday to find she had received a letter from her
existing provider saying they were sorry to see her go.
This is colloquially known as
“Slamming” and is an extreme form of mis-selling, usually
related to fixed-line telephone lines. It’s where customers are
switched from one company to another without their express knowledge
and consent. There are a number of safeguards built into
the switching process which are supposed to ensure that consumers
are protected from this sort of thing happening. The process works on
the basis of consumers being notified by letters sent by
both the losing and gaining telephone companies informing the consumer
of the impending switchover (as did indeed happen here). There is a 10-day switchover period during
which time the consumer can stop the order going ahead where they
simply change their mind or find they have been “slammed”.
This can be done by contacting either the losing or
gaining telephone company and requesting that the switchover
does not go ahead. When my friend contacted the new company
they refused to accept that she hadn’t agreed to a switchover and
she was told they had a tape of the conversation with her agreeing to
the change; strangely, though, they were unwilling to produce it. When
she contacted her old company they said she was out of time (over the
10 days as she’d been on holiday) so they couldn’t
reinstate her. She complained to Ofcom who were sympathetic but said
she must ask her old company to reinstate her anyway. It turned out
they had just been taken over and didn’t seem to be able to do
anything…….. And now her phone is cut off. The saga
continues. Ofcom can take action against companies that
engage in mis-selling or slamming and can fine these companies up to
10% of their turnover. If it happens to you see www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/landline/slamming/ . But if you get such a call, slamming is exactly what you should do: slam the phone down! John Garner - Business Correspondent |

David Hadley's Column Better than speed bumps I don't know about you, but this would slow
me down! People slow down and try to "straddle" the hole, then breath a
sign of relief when they completely clear it! This is actually a speed
control device in use. Also cheaper than speed cameras.  
Very clever, especially if moved around each day, don't you think?

Make Henley Greener
Save Money - Help Save the Planet Keep Cool. Be ready for the next spell of hot weather. Did you realise that
insulation keeps heat out of your home in summer as well as saving
money by retaining heat in winter? This is the dual benefit of
insulation: better comfort all round and lower bills. So, any time of
year is a good time to get insulated. Summer tends to be a quieter time
for the insulation contractors so there are some good deals around at
the moment. Currently, Rockwarm in conjunction with Stratford District Council
are offering a fantastic deal on cavity wall insulation starting from
just £99 for a small bungalow or semi. For larger properties, the
price depends on the size of the property so contact Rockwarm on 0800
132689 or www.rockwarm.co.uk
and they will come and check your property to give you a price. Mention
the Stratford District Council deal. It is also worth checking with
other contractors (see list below) because some of these offer very
competitive prices on larger properties . For impartial advice about
home insulation call actonenergy on 01789 842898 or visit www.actonenergy.org.uk
. Insulation can be free for home owners over 70 or if you are on
certain benefits. Ask the insulation companies or take a look at: www.energysavingtrust.org.uk . If you are eligible the insulation company will deal with the grant application. When it’s hot you can
assist the cooling of your home by keeping windows, curtains and doors
closed during the middle of the day. In the morning and the evening,
when outside temperatures are lower than inside, open everything up to
get the cooler air flowing through. A thermometer check on when the
outside air is cooler than the inside can help decide the best time to
open up.
Beat the bills. Insulation saves on heating costs.
 Someone
who lives in Henley gave me the graph right showing his gas usage
between 1978 and 2008. No prizes for guessing when they had cavity wall
insulation installed!! More interesting is the information I’ve
added to the right of the graph. The reduction in gas use equates to
£360 per year on current prices. On this basis, 20 years worth of
savings is £7,200. Would the stock exchange have given this
return on the £200 to £300 cost of cavity wall insulation
for this large house? I don’t think so.
So keep cool and then beat the bills by contacting one of the companies below: Insulation Contractors
Domestic & General Insulation Ltd. - 0870 122 0059
Heatsavers Insulation Ltd. - 0800 585437
Mark Insulations Ltd. - 0800 616 302
EAGA Group Limited - 0800 317997
Rockwarm Insulation Ltd. - 0800 132 689
Miller Pattison Ltd - 0800 564 456 Most installations come with
a 25 year guarantee on materials and workmanship. Solid walls can also
be insulated but it's more expensive than cavity walls. Ask the
contractors above for details. John Stott - Make Henley Greener |
