Ken move to Poulshot from Liverpool where he was an apprentice electrical engineer in the ship
yards. After the completion of his training and a spell at sea, he joined an insurance surveyor
and inspector of electrical installations in large commercial buildings.
Ken and his wife Marion moved to Poulshot and lived in the bungalow to the North of the Raven
for 53 years.
Ken was a good all round sportsman, playing Cricket for Poulshot and Table Tennis in the Village
team for thirty years where he became one of the best players in the Devizes League.
On his retirement from energetic sport he took to bowls and it is understood from his colleagues
he also excelled at this.
Poulshot sends condolences to Marion his wife and their daughters Jenny and Lisa.
So my pot will be standing on the bar once again this Christmas for anyone wishing to
donate.A donation will be required for any of you wishing to use The Raven taxi over the
festive period (or possibly brave enough)
Let’s see if we could get somewhere near last year's fantastic total.
Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a very healthy and happy New Year. xx

One of the wonderful things about the Chris9an year is that there are so many fes9vals to mark and to
celebrate. Its not just about Christmas , or indeed Easter ; there are all those other fes9vals . Advent
Sunday is one of the very special ones and is marked par9cularly in cathedrals up and down the land. If you
have never been , put it on your to do list , to go to one of the Advent carols services in Salisbury
Cathedral. It is absolutely spectacular. It starts with the cathedral in total darkness and silence and then
just one candle is lit and everyone is aware ; and gradually the cathedral is bathed in candlelight with
fabulous music throughout it all, un9l the whole cathedral is full of light and sound and glory.
That’s what Advent is about, watching and wai9ng , with growing an9cipa9on, un9l one day, 25th
December, Christmas comes. The children know about the an9cipa9on, and whilst they make enormous
lists for toys that they want, they have within them the understanding of the mystery and wonder and of
course love that goes with it all. They share the joy and excitement of their school ac9vi9es ; of their
na9vity plays and carol services and Chris9ngle services , and anyone who has been to a Chris9ngle service
will know what I mean. The light reflected in the children’s eyes is never to be forgolen. These services
are there for everyone . I do hope you manage to alend at least one.
There may be some of you who find the Christmas season difficult; maybe you feel lonely, or maybe this
will be the first Christmas without a loved one , and so what I say is this. Jesus was born as a lille baby, and
that is a cause of great joy for everyone, but his promise is to be with us in our hour of need; to walk
alongside us when things get tough ; to be there with us when all the rest of the world seems so far away.
If you can, come along to church and feel the love that is there for you , and hear the Christmas message
that the shepherds experienced, the angels sang about and the wise men travelled so far to find, and that
message is that the one Almighty God sent his lille baby son to be with us to show us the way and to show
us that we are all included and to show us that we are all loved .
