Normandy - Interesting Rifle Shooting
- To The Editor
Sir - Your reporter had to leave before the prizes were given away by Lady
Roberts of Henley Park at our Cottagers' Show. So he was not able to full
credit to the rifle shooting. The Normans, No. 741 Miniature Rifle Club
of the N.R.A. has only been started this year, but they acquitted themselves
very well on 1/8. They fired with the Lincoln Jeffries air rifle at a target
6ft square with 1½" bull, fixed on a toy boat floating on a
pond at a distance of 25 yards, the boat being pulled in and out again
for each round of five shots - no sighting shots given - and the result
was that the following five prizes were allotted - Arthur Hammond - a suckling
pig: Frederick Jinman - a Leghorn Cockerel: William Rickwood - a pair of
fantail pigeons: Sidney Hollands - a rabbit: George Yenz - a duck: Albert
Collyer - a kitten: and Cecil Stedman: the last prize. There were five
equal scores for this last, it was only after many tosses that it became
his property. Besides the Normans, several visitors had shots at the floating
target, and it was voted a success. It was rather hard on the Normans that
they were on the point of victory. Their opponents (Shawfield and Ash)
had got the best of the first innings by 35, but the Normans had pulled
up by the second, and were only three behind with seven wickets to fall.

The Normans Cricket Club, under the skilful coaching of their Captain,

innings, through an incident when victory was well within their group,
but on Bank Holiday they had nearly doubled the score of their opponents
from Pirbright only scored 59 and they got 93. Locally it is attributed
to the encouragement they received when at the Cottagers' Show the Shaftsbury
School Band sang that old glee 'The Hardy Norseman & House of Yore'.

The Normans Rifle Club
Lt Col G Coussmaker, Honorary Secretary of 'The Normans' Rifle Club writes
- 'Now that the season of indoor rifle shooting is drawing to an end, and
we are thinking of firing at the butt in the field, it may interest some
of your subscribers to read how 'The Normans' number 741 miniature rifle
club, have been spending the winter. The club only came into existence
on the 16th of January last year, and the rule was then made that the members
should pay for their ammunition - one halfpenny for five shots. A score
of twenty was fixed upon as that which would enable the shooter to have
his halfpence returned, and to get various ribbons and badges at different
distances. This year the lads fixed upon twenty-five as the qualifying
score, and that at which they should obtain the same honours as before.
According to their scale of marking, thirty is the highest possible, and
already several of them have made 29, so they can firstly claim progress.
They have had some game tournaments with the neighbouring club at Pirbright,
including rifle matches. The first was won by Pirbright by one point, the
second by 'The Normans' by three points. At the finish of this match there
was great excitement, as the last man of 'The Normans' had to make twenty
to tie. However, Albert Colyer, one of the youngest though by no means
the worst, did not disappoint his backers, for he scored 23. As a general
rule 30 is the highest possible at 'The Normans' practice, but this time
25 at a seven eights of an inch bull, at the distance of 12 yards was the
limit.

- Lighting of the Parish
- The council considered the lighting scheme laid before the special

which he said was a very cheap and modest one, and would result in a great
improvement of Ash. Mr Murrell said he would support the scheme if the
estimated penny rate was not levied on agricultural land. Last year was
a bad one for agriculturists, but he present one was worse. Mr Deedman
said the proposed 30 lamps were ridiculous for such a big parish. He would
rather be without light than see lamps placed hundreds of yards apart.
Mr King observed that Mr Murrell spoke from an owners point of view. Mr
Murrell said agricultural land did not want lighting, the cost of the scheme
should be put on bricks and mortar. Mr Bateman felt concerned that the
scheme would be approved by the ratepayers and moved that a parish meeting
be asked to consider it. Mr King seconded. After further discussion the
matter dropped, Mr Bateman and Mr King promising to make a requisition

sharp attack of bronchitis, followed by pneumonia. The deceased lady was
very well respected and esteemed by the poorer people, to who she had endeared
herself by her ready help and sympathy, extending over many years. She
always took much interest in everything of a charitable nature. The institution
of a village nurse was due to her, and she has been one of the mainstays
in keeping it up. The arrangements for London children to spend a fortnight
in the county each summer were made by her. She was always ready to assist
in getting up concerts for local objects, helping with the Monthly Sewing
class, and managing the school treats in connection with the Flower Show.

and Pound Day contributions testify. [may be some

classes in his bereavement.

respect and sympathy. The service was conducted by the Reverend N. Pickford

wife of Col. G. Coussmaker of Westwood, Normandy, we omitted to state that
the coffin was made by men of the parish, that deceased was carried from
her home to the grave by cottagers of the parish, and that those among

- A Successful Performance
- Wyke School was crowded on Tuesday evening when Shakespearean comedy
'As you like it' was given by the people of Ruskin House School in aid
of the funds of 'The Normans Club'. The performance was in every way excellent,
and the audience had a most enjoyable time. The portraiture of the various
characters was delightful, and great praise is due to the performers, the
more so as many of them had to play two parts. This, however, was done
so skilfully that the audience was unaware of the fact, and could hardly
credit it when made known. The cast was The Banished Duke and duke Frederick
(the usurper) - Miss D Lawlor, Amiens and Jacques (attendants)- Misses
Edna Smith and Muriel Miller - La Beau ( a courtier) - Miss Muriel Miller
- (Oliver) - Jacques Orlando (sons of Sir Rowland De Boss), Misses Edna
Smith, r Young and Little Long Parkhouse: Old Adams (servant) and Touchstone
(a clown) - Miss Florence Green: Corin and Silvius (shepherds): Miss E
Young and Muriel Miller: Sir Oliver Martext (a vicar) Miss R Young: Million
(??) ( a country fellow): Miss Edna Smith: Rosalind (daughter to the Banished
Duke) Miss Muriel Mapson: Celia (daughter to Duke Frederick) - Miss Marjorie
Anderson: Phoebe ( a shepherdess) Miss Edna Smith: Audrey (a country wench)
Miss Madeline Green: court ladies etc - Messrs Ellen Taylor - Kate and
Lillie Howlett, Ursula Flex and Madeline Green. Between the acts Mrs Lawlor
played the pianoforte roles 'Loreles' and Chopin's Prelude XV and Mrs Ida
Sweeting sang 'Let me weep', 'Eldorado' and 'Happy Song'. Col. Coussmaker
'The Normans' and others rendered valuable help in various ways, but the
credit for the production belongs to Miss Baxter, the principal of the
School who is to be heartily congratulated on the success of her efforts.

to the Managing Board for seven years at the least. The members - there
are now 42 of them - meet every evening. They shoot with an air rifle,

needs of the neighbourhood were fairly well provided for, and that there
would not be sufficient new traffic to justify the expense of the proposal.

the wishes of the Council. Mr Beeton said that they must be like the old

an answer. He moved they write again -- carried.

Divorce action - An anonymous letter
In the Divorce Court on Thursday before Sir Govell Barnes, Major Arthur
Edward Lascelles was the respondent to a divorce suit instituted by Mrs
Hilda Lascelles, daughter of Mr Charles Douglas Basnett of Henley Park,
Guildford. Mr Barnard, who appeared for the petitioner, said that the parties
were married on 29th January 1889 at St Marks Church, Wyke and there was
one child, a daughter, now over 18 years of age, issue of the marriage.
The Major and his wife went out to India, where he had several attacks
of sunstroke. In 1904 they came home, Major Lascelles being stationed in
Ireland. At the end of the year 1904 there was a temporary separation,
owing to the respondent's health. In June 1905 however, he wished to make
the separation permanent. Mrs Lascelles objected, and in November 1906
obtained an order for restitution of conjugal rights, which had never been
obeyed. Last January, however, Mrs Lascelles received an anonymous letter,
telling her that if she made inquiries at a certain hotel in Ireland she
would find her husband had previously stayed there with a lady in 1905.
Evidence having been called to this effect, a decree nisi with costs was
granted.

Big Farm Fire - Supposed incendarism - £400 damage.
At 11:30pm on Sunday night the Guildford Fire Brigade received a call to
a fire at Westwood Farm, Normandy, the property of Lt Col Coussmaker, and
in the occupation of Mr L C Morris, Captain T Hooke and First Officer A
W Hall left with the steamer, followed by Foreman Holt with the manual.
The outbreak was first noticed about two minutes to eleven by P C Thatcher
who saw smoke issuing from the buildings. He at once proceeded to the farm,
and found that a barn containing oats, which had been obtained off 16 acres
of ground, was well ablaze. A very strong wind fanned the flames and the
Guildford Brigade, P C Thatcher with Mr Morris, Mr Fred Horne and Mr W
Davey, did their best to quell the flames with water obtained in buckets
from cattle troughs and a pond nearby, but owing to the great wind, their
efforts were not of much avail, although they succeeded in saving a portion
of the building. Mr Morris rescued half a dozen horses from the stable
just in time, for one animal had already begun to show the effects of the
great heat. On their arrival about 12:30am, the Guildford brigade devoted
their attention to saving the stables nearest to the farmhouse, and this
they succeeded in doing, after one and a half hours strenuous work, with
the help of the Aldershot Brigade, who arrived on the scene about half
past one. It was found necessary to pull the oat rick to pieces, and the
Guildford Brigade did not reach home until about eleven o'clock on Monday
morning.
An investigation on Monday morning found that considerable damage had been
done. At first it was difficult to estimate the exact amount, and it was
thought that the loss would not be covered under £1000, but after
careful examination of the premises it is believed that the total amount
of damage is between £400 and £500. All the property was insured.
This is the second outbreak of fire that has occurred at the farm within
the last fortnight, and it is believed to have been the work of an incendiary.
The building were found to be alight first in the further end of the premises
from where the previous outbreak occurred, and less than an hour before
is was discovered P C Thatcher passed by the farm and found it all safe,
so that it is surmised that whoever set the building alight watched for
their opportunity.
