WORK IN THE COMMUNITY
The Wessex Youth Offending Team works in partnership
with Catch22, a registered charity, to ensure that
young people who have offended have the opportunity
to use their skills and abilities to benefit their communities
as a means of repairing the harm caused by
their offending. Catch22 has been involved in this
process for the past three years and young people
under their supervision have completed a number of
tasks in the New Forest area in partnership with other
local organisations.
Among the tasks carried out by young offenders has
been assisting Hythe Rotary Club to paint memorial
benches on Hythe Marina; internal decoration and
gardening at Colors Youth Club in Holbury; and
repairing the dog walkers’ path at

The New Forest Remembers
The ever-popular beach landings will again be a
feature of this summer’s major event at Lepe
Country Park, ‘The New Forest Remembers’.
Taking place over the weekend of 3rd and 4th
July, The New Forest Remembers aims to bring
the local community and visitors together for a
weekend of entertainment, remembrance and
nostalgia. This year sees the commemoration of
the 70th anniversary of the Blitz, Dunkirk, the
Battle of Britain and the founding of the Home
Guard, and also acknowledges the 65th anniversary
of VE/VJ Day.
An integral part of the weekend’s activities is the
Sunday parade of standards and open air service.
A spokesperson for the organisers said ‘We welcome
veterans, members of the public, community
groups, school children, and anyone else who
porting and working with others. Its success is evident
in the students’ outstanding contribution to the
community and their excellent spiritual, moral, social
and cultural development. Students’ good behaviour
and positive attitudes contribute greatly to the good
pace of learning”.
Oak Lodge Head Teacher, Beverley Hawker, commented:
“I am thrilled with the outcome and agree
with the comment made by one parent that Oak Lodge
is ‘a very special special school’. The report is a credit
to an experienced and hard working team. We have
and continue to be committed to providing a safe welcoming
environment for our pupils, where they can

which will assemble at the western car park at
Lepe at 10am on Sunday 4th July. Those who
wish to lay wreaths will be very welcome to do
so, although we ask that they contact us so that
we can make sure they are included in that part
of the service.’
Groups wishing to lay a wreath should contact
the organisers on 077 483 10996 or email
Southampton.1@btinternet.com
The whole weekend is supporting the Royal
British Legion, and the Fawley Branch will be
hosting a 1940’s big band dance at their club in
Exbury Road, Blackfield on the evening of
Saturday 3rd July. Tickets for the dance are on
sale at the Club and at The Herald office in
Hythe.
enjoy and achieve in their learning, ensuring all are
successful. We are extremely proud of all our pupils’
and staff achievements”.
Chairman of Governors, Margaret Rowles, added:
“Oak Lodge is a very progressive school that has
achieved much in the last three years, both in the
expansion of its curriculum and also major building
work to improve its facilities. The school has a very
safe and nurturing environment allowing the students
to develop into confident young adults”.
It is a testament to the quality of education provided
at Oak Lodge that all 27 leavers in 2009 went on to
college or into employment or training.

Totton Air Cadets with the C17 Globemaster aircraft
Totton Air Cadets joined an RAF aircrew
on a C17 Globemaster aircraft for
a 3 hour training sortie, flying out of
RAF Brize Norton. The cadets experienced
as many as 15 take-offs and
landings, including the many different
types of approach and touch-downs
that RAF crews have to learn, particularly
when flying on operational duties
abroad. This was one of the many
opportunities that young people can
enjoy as members of the Air Training
Corps.
Totton Air Training Corps is open to
both male and female teenagers aged
13 to 18; there is no need to have an
interest in aviation as there are many
other activities to participate in and
enjoy. Anyone interested in learning
more about the group, and perhaps
joining, can visit www.2498sqn@air
cadets.co.uk or phone 07917 180901
for more information. Totton Air
Cadets meet every Tuesday and
Thursday between 7.30 and 9.30pm at
their own premises in Cheam Way,
Totton.

STUDENTS AGAINST POLIO
Mike Clarke, Foundation
Committee chairman of
New Forest Rotary Club,
received a cheque for
£250 from students of
Totton College, following
their fundraising
activities for Thanks for
Life ‘Purple Pinkie Day’
at the College in
February. This is a
national charity, supported
by the Rotary, raising
funds and awareness of
the plight of the children
in developing Asian and
African countries, not
vaccinated against Polio,
resulting in many contracting
this crippling
disease. Once immunised,
the children have
their ‘pinkie’ finger
Mike Clarke (front) with Mark Bramwell (far right) and Totton College students
dipped in purple ink. Students baked
cakes topped with either pink or purple
icing, and beauty students painted finger
nails pink and purple, in exchange
for a donation to the cause.
Mike Clarke said: “This has proved to
be a wonderful partnership between
the Rotary Club and the College. This
valuable contribution of £250 towards
the appeal has meant that 1250 children
in India will now be immunised
against this crippling disease”.
Mark Bramwell, College Principal
added: “The college is proud to be
working with the Rotary Club on the
‘End Polio Now’ campaign. We have
been working with the Rotarians on a
number of exciting and productive initiatives
for a couple of years. They
have been mutually beneficial, but to
see the impact this campaign has on
the lives of young people across the
world is uplifting and valued by all our
students”.
HANDY
BOOST
Cllr Maureen Maclean has presented a
cheque for £250 to Candy Huxham,
Youth Worker for the HANDY Trust.
The money was from Cllr Maclean’s
Community grant. The HANDY Trust
offers support to young people in
Hythe and Dibden, organising many
events for young people such as Sports
in the Park, the opening of the Youth
Club every day during the school holidays,
and bi-monthly gigs at the Parish
Hall.

MUSIC FESTIVAL HELPS
STUDENT’S STUDIES
A young man from Hythe
is helping to organise a
major music event as part
of his degree course in
Commercial Music. Billy
Boyles is in the final year
of his course on the Isle of
Wight and a large part of
his final dissertation will
centre on an event known
as Munch Fest 2010.
This will be the second
year of the Munch Fest,
which was originally set
up as a memorial gig for
Billy’s late friend Martyn
Duffey (aka Munch), who
was a passionate music
lover and keen party goer.
Munch Fest has been
developed as a mini
music festival dedicated
to Martyn’s memory, and
this year it will feature a
feast of genres from
around the south coast,
Fawley & District Community
Association held its final meeting and
disbanded on March 5th 2010 after
being in existence for 55 years.
In 1955, following a proposal by Mrs
Bertha Clarkson, supported by the Hon
Sybil Crossley, Dr J Clarkson, Miss M
Harvey and Mr W Boots, the first committee
was formed for the new
Community Association which had a
membership of 30. They met once a
month in a converted Nissan hut on the
site of Blackfield Baptist Chapel, and
numbers steadily increased until in 1962
they reached 300.
There was obviously a need for better
accommodation and programme time,
and after yet further expansion a new
purpose-built community centre was
leased, being open for 80 hours a week.
At its peak in the 1970’s, the membership
was over 1100 with more than 30
groups catering for different interests all
meeting in the community centre.
whilst also offering a free
14 track CD compilation
album with each ticket
sold. Munch Fest 2010,
being held at The Studio
on the Isle of Wight on
9th & 10th July and at
Talking Heads,
Southampton on 16th &
17th July, will include
some of the biggest rising
bands from Southampton,
Brighton and the Isle of

Working on the organisation
and promotion of
Munchfest is proving
valuable experience for
Billy on his Commercial
Music degree course, for
which he has been studying
live music promotion
and looking at new ways
of promoting bands and
their music. His final dissertation
will examine the
logistics of promoting
live music.
The local branch of the County Library
was also in the building and was used by
some 2000 people each week. Other
activities included exhibitions, auctions,
Further Education classes, playschool,
ballet, clinics, and numerous interest
groups such as gardening, wine making,
travel, natural history, chess, and stamp
collecting. There were also annual pantomimes,
fetes and other outdoor events.
In recent years, changing lifestyles led
to a reduction in interest in voluntary
organisations, and the Community
Centre was closed, and the site re-developed.
Members continued to meet on a
monthly basis at various venues, most
recently in St Andrew’s Hall, Dibden
Purlieu.
Following the final disbandment of
Fawley & District Community
Association, former secretary George
Phillips commented: “The loss to the
community is still remarked upon with
regret”.

Honeypot’s New Playroom
Vice Captain of
Hampshire Cricket
Club, Nic Pothas,
officially opened a
new active indoor
playroom at
Honeypot House,
Blackfield, and
after cutting the
ribbon took the
opportunity to be
the first to try out
the new facilities,
which includes air
hockey and table
football. He then
treated the children
staying at Honeypot
House, to a game of
cricket outside in the
gardens.
Nic is the charity’s new
celebrity ambassador
and will now raise funds
for Honeypot using his
celebrity status, supporting
the charity through
events and testimonials.
“I was very honoured to
be the first person to step
inside this fantastic new
facility. The children
were really excited by
the new games, and I
can see they’ll really
benefit from an active

role as celebrity sports
ambassador is an important
one for me – I’m
humbled by how much
some young people have
to do to support their
sick or disabled parents,
and Honeypot gives
them a chance to be children
once in a while”, he
said.
The new playroom has
been funded by Ernst

LAUNCH OF NEW FOREST MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM
As part of the celebrations
marking their centenary,
2nd New Forest
North (Copythorne)
Scout Group chose April
Fool’s day to launch the
‘New Forest Mountain
Rescue Team’.
After consultation with
the National Park
Authority, NFDC, and
the National Trust, the
site for the launch was
decided on as Stagbury
Hill, on NT land just
north of Newbridge village.

ment is also celebrating
its centenary this year,
Copythorne Guides volunteered
to organise a
‘failed attempt’ on this
60,000mm high peak so
that the new Mountain
Rescue Team could have
a ‘live’ rescue on its
launch day. At 6.30pm
the alarm was duly
raised and by 6.40pm the
Rescue Team was
mobilised. Led by Rhys
Jones, the celebrated
mountaineer who was
The First Aid Dog
the youngest person
to climb the
highest peak on
the 6 continents,
culminating in
reaching the summit of
Everest on his 20th
birthday, and Michael
Gurd, President of the
Scout Group, the team
set off to the musical
accompaniment of the
Group’s Scout & Guide
Band.
At the top of the hill,
with the band still playing,
the rescuers found
Kimberly-Kate Holman,
the only member of the
Guide party to reach the
summit; the rescue was
marked by the firing of a
rocket.
The whole event was
staged to raise money for
charity, and after the
official party had conquered
the summit, more
than 120 people made
their way to the top of
Stagbury Hill – but only
after making a donation
to the charity fund. At
the top, Rhys Jones
signed certificates for
the Cubs and Beavers as
Rhys Jones at the summit
an official souvenir of
the event.
Those who reached the
top included Clive
Chatters from the New
Forest National Park
Authority and Ingleton,
the Scout Group’s mascot.
Les Puttock,
Chairman of NFDC, had
to watch the proceedings
from base camp as he
had undergone a knee
replacement operation
only two days previously.
The event raised £180 to
be divided between
Hampshire & IoW Air
Ambulance and
Parkinson’s Disease
charities.
A spokesman said afterwards:
“The Team is
available for future rescues,
subject to 6 months’
advance notice and
completion of an application
form in quadruplicate,
to include an
exhaustive risk assessment,
and certificate of
satisfaction from the
EEC Health & Safety
Authority!”

Kim
Cotton in
action
Kim Cotton, 37, from
Hythe, is taking part in a
four year fundraising
challenge, running half,
full and an ultra
marathon, plus the gruelling
Marathon des
Sables. Kim’s challenge
‘3,2,1, GO! Sahara!’
started last year, with 3
half marathons and continues
this year with 2
full marathons, one in
Brighton and the other in
Snowdonia. Next year
Kim runs the 56mile

being anything over the

marathon distance).
Then in 2012, she heads
to the Sahara Desert to
run 150 miles, in the

carrying everything she
needs on her back and
running the equivalent
of a marathon a day, plus
a long stage of 50+
miles. Competitors are
fully self sufficient for
the 6 day event, being
provided only with
water and a tent.
Kim is doing this for two

a greener, more sustainable
and eco-friendly
way of life, and to
inspire others to follow

Online 40’s Radio Station Launched
A Waterside couple
have come up with an
idea to recreate the comedy
and music of the
1940’s by launching
www.1940sukradio.co.u
k to fill a missing sound
wave for those who
have fond memories of
radio programmes during
the war years, or
who simply enjoy anything
associated with
that era.
Shaun and Lynda
Moncaster’s idea is to
reach out not only to
those who have personal
memories of the 1940’s,
but also to the WW2 liv-
ing history re-enactors,
so their radio station
will present a mix of
music, quizzes, comedy,
news and details of 40’s
themed events and
activities.
“Anyone who has an
interest in that period,
including those who are
studying the subject or
those who simply want
to enjoy something
exciting and different,
should tune in”, said
Shaun.
Following a test transmission
in April, the
website is now receiving
hundreds of hits a
day. The presenters
include Bob Kerr, who

COMMONERS’ CENTENARY EXHIBITION
A stunning photographic exhibition,
celebrating the centenary of
the New Forest Commoner’s
Defence Association (1909-2009), is
on display at the St Barbe Museum
& Art Gallery, Lymington until
Saturday 5th June, 10am-4pm
(Mon- Sat). A collection of New
Forest photographs by Sally Fear,
together with historical photographs
loaned by commoners
themselves depicts a record of the
real life behind the public image of
the New Forest and the ongoing
skill, hard work and passion of the
New Forest Pont drift at Culverley
(Photography copyright Sally Fear)
commoners.
Sally, who lives and runs ponies on the Forest, has spent fourteen years
documenting the people, animals, the ecology and the sustainable land
management. “The browsing and grazing of the commoners’ animals
plays a central role in the ecology of the New Forest. It is depressing to
witness the tragic results of careless driving and I hope that this exhibition
will help raise awareness of the role that we all play in helping to
preserve this important environment,” she commented. The exhibition
includes some of the consequences of careless driving, and shows the
role of the New Forest Hounds in the life of the New Forest.
“We owe the commoners an enormous debt of gratitude. It is through
their skill, their care for their animals and their knowledge of the fragile
ecology of the Forest that the Forest has survived almost unchanged for
hundreds of years and will, hopefully flourish for many years to come”
added Sally.

SHOWBIZ SPECTACULAR
Concert Review by Janice Taylor
Where can you see Johnny Cash, Julie Andrews and
Tina Turner all on the same bill? At a Waterside
Gateway Club variety show, that’s where! When
members of this club for adults with learning disabilities
put on a show, they really pull out all the stops to
provide their audience with first-rate entertainment.
The show featured dancers, singers, comedians, guitarists,
and even a pantomime, all performed with
lavish helpings of enthusiasm and panache. Among
the other top-name ‘stars’ on stage were Abba, Ronan
Keating, George Formby and Dusty Springfield,
making this spectacular Variety Show a really glittering
occasion. The audience was soon singing along
and clapping in time to popular numbers such as ‘All
That Jazz’, ‘When you say nothing at all’, and ‘You
don’t have to say you
love me’. There were
plenty of smiles and giggles
too for the lively
rendition of ‘Jake the
Peg’ and the re-enactment
of the comic verse
‘Albert and the Lion’.
At the end of the show,
after the tumultuous
applause had died down,
representatives of
Waterside Bowls Club
presented a cheque for
£600 to the Gateway
Club to help with its running
costs. Gateway

had served on Branch and Social Club
Committees at different levels for 51
years and was always willing to give
Jim Byrne (centre) with well-wishers at his retirement party
advice when needed. As a result of ill
health, he has had to retire from his
role as Branch Secretary, but has
accepted the honorary position of
Branch President.
Six members of the Four Seasons
Singers, performed a selection of
memorable songs, culminating in a
rousing rendition of ‘We’ll meet
again’, with which everyone joined in.
The evening concluded with a superb
buffet and plenty of jokes and good
humour.
Club Secretary Chris Blandford said:
“Mr Byrne’s service, support and guidance
will be greatly missed and on

behalf of the club and the many people
he has helped with welfare problems,
we are eternally grateful. Throughout
his service to the Branch and the club,
he has actively displayed the Royal
British Legion’s motto: Service Not
Self”.

Hythe Coastguard Officer Retires
A Hythe man has retired after 32 years’ service as a
Coastguard Officer. Mike O’Brien joined HM
Coastguard in 1978 following a 14 year career as a
Petty Officer in the Royal Navy.
After joining HM Coastguard, Mike’s first posting
was to Southend-on-Sea in Essex, then on to Dover
Coastguard Station where he operated the Channel
Navigation Information Service for two years.
In 1982, Mike became Sector Manager for Calshot
and relocated to Hythe with his wife Kay and daughters
Ellen and Claire. Later he took up the post of
Manager for Southampton Sector, which covered the
coast from Chewton Bunny to Fareham. Mike was
also responsible for training and managing
the three Coastguard auxiliary
teams based at Lymington, Hythe and
Hillhead.
Approved by
Trading Standards
10 years after moving to Hythe, Mike
became coxswain and manager of the
Coastguard vessel ‘Osprey’, operating
out of Hythe Marina Village. He was
involved with many incidents, notably
the flying boat that ditched in

Hythe Club Supports Sasa
Sarah and Neil Kitcher, with Beth and SaSa, accept the cheque from Ray
Woodford of Hythe Club
Members of Hythe Club presented a
cheque for £3,000 to a local couple for
the care of their adopted daughter, SaSa.
Raised through charity nights, raffles,
change bottles on the bar, the club has
selected ‘Stuff4SaSa’ as its chosen charity,
which, as always is a local one.
Special thanks go to John Lowman and
the Old Codgers for their fundraising
efforts. SaSa is a beautiful little four year
old girl, who suffered from an acute
chronic subdural hematoma, or shaken
baby syndrome, when she was around
nine weeks old. Although she had an
operation to remove the blood clot on her
brain and was put on a ventilator, doctors
did not think she would survive. Luckily,
SaSa and her twin sister, Bethany, have
been adopted by their foster carers, who
have looked after the girls, since they
were nine weeks old. SaSa, who is
unable to walk or stand, needs vital
equipment to ensure she stays as healthy
as possible. For details about SaSa visit

RAFT RACE HEAVES INTO VIEW
The Great Waterside Raft
Race in aid of the RNLI
will take place in Hythe on
Sunday 22nd August.
Running now for 23 years,
this popular and well supported
event has raised
many thousands of pounds
for the lifeboats – including
more than £8,000 last year.
This year’s course will be
between Hythe Pier and
Hythe Marina, and Hythe
Marina Village has generously
agreed to waive parking
charges on that day.
Rafts assemble on the
Marina near to the public
slipway from 9am ready for
judging and safety checks
at 10.30am. The racing
begins at 11am with the
Ladies Race, followed by
the Decorated Raft Race,
the Formula 1 Race, the
Junior Race and the
Handicap Race for all rafts.
The presentation of trophies
and medals will be at
around 1.45pm.
All the races will follow
the standard course, except
the junior race which will
have a shortened course,
and the Formula 1 Race
which will have a longer
course.
Rafts can be entered for
more than one race using
different crews as appropriate.
There will be prizes
for the winners of each
race, plus trophies for Best

FESTIVAL FEVER
STARTS TO RISE
After a couple of years of smaller festivals,
Waterside Arts is planning much
more for this year’s Summer Festival.
As well as two weekends in Hythe village
and one in Fawley, the 2010 festival
will once again feature evening
events during Festival Fortnight.
Plans so far include a concert by local
singing group Sounds Easy, a Poems &
Pints evening, a sing-along Mamma
Mia film, a literary event at Hythe
Library, and an open air sculpture &
music evening. There will also be art
displays in shop windows and – a first
for the festival – a Hythe Heritage Trail
bringing local history alive.
Fawley will host an ‘international day’
at Gang Warily on Saturday 26th
June with music, dance and food from
many cultures.
Free open air entertainment in Hythe
on Saturday 3rd July will feature
puppets, jugglers, dancers and musicians.
Highlights on the Promenade
will include swing and brass bands, a
gospel choir and, as dusk falls, folk
music.
On Saturday 10th July, there will be a
Community Day in Hythe where local
organisations will set up stalls and
information points around the village.
Entertainment will help make the day
even more enjoyable. There is still
space available for local charities and
community groups; call Brenda Smith
on 023 8084 9696 to book a place.
Full details of all the events, what’s on,
when and where, will appear in The

New Marchwood Skatepark Opens
Skateboarders, BMXers
and rollerbladers from
Marchwood have been
celebrating the opening
of a new skatepark in the
village.
Richard Johnson, vice
chair of the Veolia
Environmental Trust’s
Southern Panel, which
helped finance the
skatepark, cut the ribbon
to mark the official
opening; the ceremony
was followed by a
skatepark competition
for skaters, BMX riders
and rollerbladers, really
putting the new park
through its paces.
During the past two
years, several young
people from the village
have been working with
Marchwood Parish
Council to plan and
fundraise for the new
facility. It cost around
£30,000 for the first
phase, with funds being
provided by the parish
council, the Peter
Barker-Mills Memorial
Charity, Hampshire
County Council, New
Forest District Council,
Hampshire Playing
Fields Association, and
the Veolia
Environmental Trust
through its Landfill
Communities Fund.
The new skatepark is
located at Cork Field in
Normandy Way, and features
a custom-made
ramp and a funbox, fabricated
by Marchwoodbased
B&N
Fabrications. It is hoped
that other items like
streetscene features popular
with skateboarders,
including grindrails,
kerbstones and ramps
will be added in the near
future.
The new ramps have

replaced the village’s old
ones, which were made
of wood and had become
quite worn. As well as
being involved with
planning the new park,
the young people have
also made a commitment
to help keep the momentum
going by fundraising
for more equipment,
and also to help maintain
it in the future, keeping
it clean and tidy.
Marchwood’s Deputy
Parish Clerk, Colette
Cockeram, commented:
“It is wonderful to see so
much commitment from
everyone involved and to
see something develop
from a drawing on paper
to this.”
GREEN FINGERED HELPERS
Spring has arrived and the afternoons
and evenings reverberate to the gentle
sound of lawnmowers and strimmers,
as gardeners everywhere start to get to
grips with the new growth. Many people
love to have a garden for the
colourful display of flowers, to watch
the birds, or simply to relax in. But,
sometimes, the maintenance and
upkeep can be too much; then the
weeds take over and the garden
becomes a worry, rather than a pleasure.
If this is your dilemma, or the situation
with someone you know, help could be
at hand. Waterside Goodneighbours’
volunteers operate in the Waterside
area from Marchwood to Calshot.
Many of them are green-fingered, keen
gardeners who are happy to help others
with their garden upkeep, such as lawn
mowing, deadheading, weeding or
pruning.
Other volunteers on the team can help
with getting shopping in, posting letters,

SKITTLES GET TOGETHER
New Forest East Probus Club got together
with Hythe Probus Club for their annual skittles
match held this year at the Royal British
Legion Club in Blackfield.
This regular event is organised to help promote
friendship between the two clubs’ members
and partners, and has proved very
successful when held at various Waterside
venues over the years.
This year’s match, organised by the New
Forest East club, consisted of two games, a
buffet lunch and then a knockout game. The
winners were: Christine Sinclair (NFE) with
highest ladies’ score; Clifford Smith (Hythe)
with highest men’s score; and Stuart Prout (Hythe)
who was knockout winner.
In addition to the skittles match, each club organises

Craft Show Raises Charity Funds
Balmy spring sunshine brought mixed blessings to
the Arts & Crafts Fair organised by Hythe Rotary
Club at the Community Centre in Hythe. During the
morning, the fine weather and the efforts of the
Hythe Town Crier, encouraged a steady stream of
shoppers and browsers to the event, but come the
afternoon it seems they all retired to their gardens to
relax and it was relatively quiet at the fair.
Nevertheless, over 200 people visited the stalls,
which featured everything from watercolours to
ceramics, needlecrafts to photography, jewellery to
parchment craft, and glassware to silk flowers.
Visitors remarked on the very high standard of work
on display and were especially impressed that all
the artists and craftspeople came from the local
area.
A raffle was held during the day, with many of the
prizes generously donated by the exhibitors themselves,
helping to boost the overall profit to just
under £300, which will go to charities and appeals,
both locally and overseas, which are supported by
Hythe Rotary Club.

A Night with Bon Giovi
Review by Louise Martin
I was thrilled to hear that the good old ‘Esso’ cinema,
now the Waterside Theatre, Holbury, was staging
a live rock band, albeit a tribute one, and I was
keen to go along. The organisers were ‘The
Theatre’, local music-lovers, who felt that the area
needed a large indoor venue for live music and,
with the support of The Waterside Sports & Social
Club and the Waterside Theatre Company, they
have booked four very different bands over the next
few months. Their venture kicked off with Bon
Giovi, a Bon Jovi tribute act, with a great reputation
for being true to the original artist.
I have to admit to not really being a fan of Bon Jovi
and had been racking my brains all week to think of
any of their songs. When we got down to Holbury
just after doors opened at 8pm, the music had
already started, with a DJ playing all the classic
rock songs and anthems; it just made you want to
pick up the old ‘air’ guitar and play along with
those riffs. Bon Giovi themselves, started at 9pm,
playing two one hour sets with a short interval,
when the DJ took up again. It was a real shame that
the audience wasn’t bigger, as there was a great
atmosphere. Everyone was so enthusiastic and far
better than me, as they knew all the songs and sang
along, although I did recognise quite a few in the
end. It was just amazing to watch live performers,
and the sound of electric guitars, drums and vocals
was exhilarating. Chatting to some of the audience,
who were proper Bon Jovi fans, they couldn’t fault
Bon Giovi at all.
I was impressed with the venue, the quality of the
act and the professional set-up. The bar was open
for drinks and also served food. There was room to

how much was available to local people that they
were not aware of, so they suggested a day when
everyone could get together and show off what they
do. Hythe & Dibden Parish Council and the HANDY

The humble potato was the
focus of attention at a Cook and
Eat Class, organised by Age
Concern New Forest East and
Hampshire Learning as part of
the Learning Festival, and held
at Muir House retirement complex
in Dibden Purlieu.
Twelve residents spent an afternoon
learning new ways
to prepare potatoes and
sweet potatoes. They
peeled, sliced, chopped
and mixed to create
some tasty dishes,
including pommes
boulangere, a simple
sausage supper and spicy
potato wedges. Those
taking part had the
opportunity to try unfamiliar
utensils such as
wedgers and food choppers
and to experiment
with different styles of
potato peelers, which
they tested to find out
which did the job most
effectively.

BRIGHT IDEAS IN THE KITCHEN
Food always goes down
well with the ladies of
Langley WI, and at their
April meeting Debbie
Morgan from Pampered
Chef began by demonstrating
red onion and stilton
tarts, and cream
cheese, pecan and apple
wheel. The non-stick
rolling pin dealt effortlessly
with the flaky pastry
with not a gramme of
flour in sight. Club member
Ros Cooper, who
should have been in
America attending an
ACWW conference but
was grounded by the
Icelandic dust, used the
Pampered Chef chopper to
chop the pecan nuts easily,
almost to a powder. The
tarts did not require a
rolling pin, the shortcrust
pastry being rolled into
balls, placed in the spaces
in the tin, and then pressed
to fit with another of the
demonstrator’s amazing
pieces of equipment.
During WI business, the
aromas from the kitchen
were a little distracting,
and there were plenty of
mmms and aahhs as the
members tasted the finished
delights. At the end
of a very successful
evening, the demonstrator
gave a donation to Breast

Bob Tweedy (1916-2010)
Fawley Royal British Legion is saddened
by the passing away of its oldest
member, Bob Tweedy, President of
the Branch Section, who has died aged
94.
Bob will always be remembered by
past committees and members of the
club, as for many years he served on
various committees, both for the
Branch and the Club. Bob and his wife
Hilda were regular lunchtime visitors
to the club where they were well-liked
and respected, and Bob will be missed
by all who knew him.
Bob served in the Royal Navy throughout
World War II, during which time he
met and married Hilda in
Southampton, leaving his native
Yorkshire to settle in the Waterside
area.
TRUCKS AND TROOPS
The National Motor
Museum at Beaulieu is
once again playing host
to ‘Trucks & Troops’, an
extravaganza of military
vehicles and militaria,
taking place over the
Bank Holiday weekend
from 29th to 31st May,
and celebrating the 65th
anniversary of VE Day.
More than 250 military
vehicles will be on display,
from push-bikes to
armoured and tracked
vehicles, from pre-
WWII to the Gulf War.
Jealousy and loyalty, subterfuge and
remorse were all in evidence at the
Vernon Theatre, Lyndhurst, but it wasn’t
a major falling-out among the members
of Lyndhurst Drama & Musical
Society – it was an extremely gripping
and well-performed presentation of
Peter Colley’s comedy thriller ‘When
the Reaper Calls’.
With just five characters, the drama
was intense and, at times, the atmosphere
on stage was electric as the players
threw themselves into their
characters. Giles Milner, as Prof
Victor Pierce, displayed a wide range
of emotions as he moved from the outspoken,
disbelieving humanist determined
to outwit his long-term pal and
rival, through to the whimpering, terrified
victim of a hoax facing, as he
thought, his last few moments on earth.
Sarah Short, playing the neurotic,
cheated wife, Dora Pierce, was splendid,
especially when she flew into a
frenzy of emotion on realising she was
without her vital tranquillisers – this
was not a woman to be easily placated!
Vic Milne stepped into the role of the
studious, stoic, unemotional Prof
Harlan Brandstater as if it were written
for him; his body language was entire-
Re-enactment groups
will be wearing uniforms
and equipment
corresponding to the
vehicles on show, and
talking to visitors about
life as a soldier, as well
as recreating camps and
scenarios in which they
would have lived and
served. Stalls will be
offering all sorts of militaria
for sale – everything
from a gas mak to
a Jeep.
Arena activities will
include vehicle parades,
re-enactments and
bands. For the youngsters,
there will be a
Commando-style assault
course, a model boat
pond and a model tank
village, plus opportunities
to dress up in Army
camouflage and be part
of a patrol with real soldiers
from the modern
British Army.

Thrilling Night Out in Lyndhurst
Theatre Review by Janice Taylor
ly in keeping with this dull and insular
character who seemed to live entirely
within his philosophy books. In complete
contrast, Kristina Broomfield,
as his wife Colleen, was a slightly
dizzy character of the hippy cult,
always coming up with bright ideas to
solve problems with a cup of herbal
tea! She did, however, show a complete
change of character as she wrestled
with her husband over whether to
report an apparent murder to the police,
and suddenly became a fiery, gunwielding
demon.
The smallest, yet possibly most difficult,
role to play was that of Officer
McGuire of the trusty Canadian
Mounted Police, played with great
humour and comic timing by Georgia
Sinnott, who injected an enjoyable
touch of farce into the drama unfolding
on stage.
Much credit for the success of this production
should go to Director Debbie
Murray who, by her own admission
had misgivings about the special
effects – but she need not have worried,
because everything ran very
smoothly and the whole production
was a real treat of live theatre.
SPOTLIGHT ON THE YOUNG
One Small Step For Man...
No Giant Leaps Just Yet...
After just over a year as Youth and
Children’s Worker at St Andrew’s
Church, Dibden Purlieu, Andy
Williamson is beginning to feel at
home. Over the past twelve months he

for children and young people.
One thing that Andy has been really

YOUNG ART HAMPSHIRE
Talented young artists from the
region showcased their work, at the
first Young Art Hampshire exhibition
at Exbury Gardens, at the end
of March. Young Art Hampshire
ran the art competition for local
children aged between 4 and 11,
with the theme ‘My favourite...’
which was judged by Caroline de
Rothschild, from Exbury. The art
and specially printed postcards of
the children’s work, were sold to
raise funds for Cancer Research
UK. Young Art, set up 20 years ago
in London, now has 5 branches
around the country and collectively
they have raised over £500,000 for
Cancer Research UK. Young Art
Hampshire is the latest to join the fold.
Chairwoman, Jan Cullen, was delighted
with the response to the exhibition:
Caroline de Rothschild presenting first
prize in year group 3-4, to George Turl of
Ballard School, with Nicholas de
Rothschild looking on
“I am so pleased it was such a success
in our inaugural year. We could not
have done it without all those involved,
particularly the support of our sponsors,
the commitment of the teachers
and the enthusiasm of all the children.”

STAY GAS SAFE
Gas Safe is the only official list of gas engineers legally
able to perform gas work on boilers, hobs, ovens, fires
and all other gas appliances. Anyone carrying out gas
work must have a Gas Safe Register ID card. If they don’t,
they are breaking the law and putting you and your family at
risk.
Gas safety is one of the
most important factors in
having a safe home and
workplace. The dangers
that surround unsafe gas
appliances are deadly
serious. Poorly maintained,
faulty or badly
installed gas work leads
to carbon monoxide poisoning,
the effects of
which can be fatal.
Always ask to see your
gas engineer’s Gas Safe
Register ID card to
make sure they are safe
and legal. The Gas Safe
Register exists to make
sure you don’t fall into
the trap of paying for
illegal gas work with
your health, and possibly
your life.
Gas Safe makes sure that

If you are a Landlord,
you have legal obligations
when it comes to

If you are a tenant renting
a property, it is
important that you

Dave Stephens, Nordic Walking Instructors,
who are out most days teaching and leading
walks across that part of the New Forest.
Nordic Walking is a great way to work the
whole body, easy to learn, sociable and fun.
The use of the poles helps to burn 20-40%
more calories than ordinary
walking, as well as lessening
the impact on joints. It is a
specific fitness technique, and
not simply walking with poles

DEMENTIA SHOULD BE NO
BARRIER TO QUALITY OF LIFE
Only 12% of people in
the south east believe a
person with dementia
can have a good quality
of life at all stages of
their condition, according
to research by the
Alzheimer’s Society.
But a new report by the
society shows that a
better quality of life is
possible for people
with a dementia diagnosis.
The report high-
lights simple things,
such as having someone
to talk to or being
able to practise a faith,
can have a huge
impact.
The report ‘My Name
is Not Dementia’ draws
on the views of people
with dementia, including
author Sir Terry
Pratchett who has written
a foreword to the
report. It aims to break

down misconceptions
by showing that a person’s
identity does not
disappear because of a
dementia diagnosis.
Award winning author,
Sir Terry Pratchett, who
has posterior cortical
atrophy, a rare form of
dementia, said:
“Dementia is undoubtedly
a cruel and debilitating
condition.
However, a diagnosis
does not strip a person
of their identity. That
person still has a voice
and they deserve to be
heard. Dementia
requires not just care,
but also understanding.
There is an opportunity
here to give the lie to
some of the clichés of
care. We have to learn
to be good at it”.
Bob Moore, Area
Manager of the
Alzheimer’s Society,
added: “All too often
dementia is seen as an
insurmountable barrier
and a diagnosis is seen
as a death sentence.
This doesn’t have to be
the case. By listening to
people living with the
condition, we can better
understand what is
important to them and
how they would like to
live their lives. We need
to learn to see the person,
not just the dementia”.
The report lists 10 criteria
that people with
dementia said were
important for improving
quality of life. The
Alzheimer’s Society
hopes to use these findings
to develop a way
to monitor quality of
life for people with
dementia, which could
be used to assess the
success of policy and
service provision.

Waterside Cancer
Support Centre
Proposals to open a cancer support
centre on the Waterside, moved a step
nearer as Wessex Cancer Trust welcomed
the Waterside Cancer Support
Centre to operate under the umbrella of
this long established charity. The proposed
Centre will provide a free dropin
facility, information service, one to
one counselling and relaxing therapies,
not only for cancer patients, but also
their dependents, partners and carers.
Discussions with the Waterside’s GP
practices have already resulted in
widespread support. The Steering
Committee, chaired by June Richens,
is looking for potential volunteer
‘befrienders’, an important role for
those with good listening skills, which
will involve initial training and ongoing
support. A search for suitable
premises is underway, however sub-
Major Trauma Rehabilitation
Have you suffered from major trauma,
as the result of a road traffic accident,
or military service? Are you an
amputee, the victim of a major burn or
a spinal cord injury? Do you have
restricted mobility, or suffer from
chronic pain as a result of major trauma?
New Forest Physiotherapy Clinic

Hip/Knee Class at New Forest
Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd
Gang Warily Recreation Centre
Have you had a knee or hip replacement?
Do you suffer from an arthritic knee or hip?
Then why not come and join the knee/hip class at
Gang Warily Recreation Centre. The class has been
set up by New Forest Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd,
which is based at Gang Warily Recreation Centre,
and is run by physiotherapists with extensive
experience in joint rehabilitation. The aim of the
class is to improve joint mobility, strength and
function through the use of carefully designed
exercises in a circuit style class.
Class participant Vaughan, 59, whom had both his
knees replaced in 2008, found the class very
supportive. “We were not asked to do anything we
could not do, and everyone worked at their own ability level. I would recommend the class to
anyone with knee problems, not just those whom have had replacements. It could prevent your
joints from getting worse.” Olivia, 80, whom had both her knees replaced in the last two years,
found the class very helpful. “I am aiming to improve my mobility, especially in and out of
chairs and up and down stairs. People should definitely come and try the class”. Marcia
Smith, 65, had her knee replaced in 2007; “The class was excellent. You can feel isolated when
you’ve had your knee replaced, but this class helps you realise there are others like you. It was
very stimulating; people of all ages and abilities took part”. If you would like to join the class
please call Gang Warily on 023 8089 3603, or go to www.newforestphysio.com/classes for
more information.
New Forest Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd offers a wide range of physiotherapy services from
sports injuries to bad backs, acupuncture to ultrasound. The clinic is run by Chartered

traditional kennels, dogs
get to spend their holidays
in a loving family
home rather than a kennel,
giving dog owners
peace of mind knowing
their best friend is being
loved and well cared for
whilst they are away.
Wagging Tails believe
that home dog boarding
should be a stress free
experience for both owners
and dogs. Their doggy
Carers are experienced
past and present dog
owners, who have been
vetted by Managing
Director Lisa Suswain
and have also been
licensed by the council,
open their homes to board
just one family’s dogs at a

Wagging Tails carers are
at home all day to offer
dogs love, exercise and
undivided attention,
ensuring that home dog
boarding replicates the
home routine so the dogs
settle straight away.
The demand for Wagging
Tails’ service means Lisa
is always interested to
hear from potential new
carers, “We get so many
repeat boards that many
of our carers are being
booked sometimes up to a

we are always needing to

LUNGWORM
THREAT TO DOGS
Vets are warning dog owners to stay vigilant for signs
of a potentially fatal disease, which is affecting dogs
across the country. Lungworm infection, caused by
the parasite Angiostrongylus vasorum, is a condition
which can be fatal, if not recognised and treated correctly.
Dogs become infected through eating slugs
and snails, which can carry the larvae of the parasite.
This particular lungworm is able to live on most
species of slug and snail. While some dogs will eat
these common garden visitors on purpose, the hidden
danger arises from outdoor water bowls, playing with
toys left out in the garden, or rummaging through the
undergrowth. Recent wet summers could be aiding

the spread of the disease.
Dogs, which have picked up a lungworm infection,
can show a number of different symptoms including:
breathing difficulties, ranging from a lack of energy
to coughing; weight loss, reduced appetite and vomiting.
Persistent bleeding, even from minor cuts is
also a sign to watch out for. However, symptoms can
be varied, so if owners are concerned about their
dog’s health, they should contact their local veterinary
practice for advice. Treatment is available,
although conventional worming tablets are not effective,
as vets can prescribe a specific spot-on treatment
to deal with the infection.

New Dog Care Service in Totton
JB Dog Care, a new
home dog boarding
company, has opened in
Totton. Proprietor, Janet
Bache, says the company
motto is “A home
from home for your dog,
peace of mind for you.”
“Before dogs stay with
me in my home, their
owners give me details
of the dogs’ routines,
such as mealtimes, playtimes,
favourite walks
and so on. The dog will
then keep to those routines;
I am happy to tell
clients that whatever
their dogs do in their
home, they can do in
mine!”
There are two added
bonuses for dogs: Janet
is at home all day and
also only boards dogs
from one household at a
time. This means that
dogs will have Janet’s
company and full attention,
which is reassuring
to owners. “I make sure
that while dog owners
are enjoying their holi-
days, their pets are
too”.
In addition to being
licensed by New Forest
District Council to
board 1-2 dogs and fully
insured, Janet has experience
from having been
a dog owner herself.
She is also a member of
the National
Association of
Registered Petsitters,
and has completed specific
qualifications in
dog care.
While you’re away on holiday, your dog could be too!
I guarantee that
1. Your dog will have company all day, every day
2. Dogs from only one household at a time will be cared for
3. Whatever your dog does in your home, s/he can do in mine!

GAME NOT OVER
A Butts Ash man is marking two milestones
in his life with an unusual charity
fundraising event. John Longland
will be celebrating his 65th birthday
and the completion of his 50 years
involvement with basketball by holding
a charity basketball tournament in
aid of Oakhaven Hospice Trust.
Four men’s and three women’s teams
have been put together for the occasion,
with players and game officials
being drawn from several of the teams
that John has either played for, coached
or refereed over the past 5 decades.
Oakhaven Hospice Trust was chosen as
the beneficiary of the event in memory
of John’s mother, Joan, his great friend
Steve Barnett, and his brother-in-law
Ivan Taylor. Both Joan and Steve were
able to spend their last weeks in their
own homes thanks to Oakhaven, which
provided care at home with a place in
the hospice if needed, and Ivan spent
his last few days being cared for in the
hospice.
Following the basketball tournament,
which will see a number of players
putting on their basketball boots for the
first time in several years, everyone
will return to John’s home in Butts Ash
for a celebratory barbecue.

so Totton had to play
well in defence.
Totton’s Jess
Brookfield repeatedly
drove through the
gaps in Maynard’s
defence, to start the
scoring, going on to
score a total 26 points
during the game. By
the end of the first
quarter the score was
19-8.
Sophie Knight was
very strong in offence
in the second quarter,
making several layups
and shots, scoring
22 points in total.
Although Totton kept
on scoring regularly,
Maynards staged a
strong come back in
the third quarter,

Totton & District Gardeners’ Society’s Spring Show
produced a heart-warming display of spring flowers.
As visitors entered the hall they were greeted by the
heady scent of Hyacinths, among which the delicate
pink cultivar ‘Fondant’ was a real hit.
Among the winners was John Edsall, who scooped 5
trophies, including Most Points in Show and Best
Daffodil in Bloom, with ‘Gold Convention’. Ray
White also won First in Class 5 for his impressive collection
of daffodils. The Members’ Class for a 7” pot
of the cultivar ‘Falconett’ multiheaded attracted many
entries.
Dave Pearn won the class for a pot of tulips with his
‘Double Viriflor’ at the peak of flowering being difficult
to challenge. The society’s youngest member,
Charlotte Bryant, won the Bill & Dulcie Boyd Trophy
for her pot of Falconett daffodils, together with 7
other prizes.

GARDEN CLUB’S SILVER CELEBRATION
Hounsdown Garden and
Social Club is this year
celebrating its 25th
anniversary. It owes its
existence to Yvonne
Hopkins who first set up
the club in 1985, even
though she knew very
little about gardening at
the time!
Yvonne was on the committee
of the newly
opened Hounsdown Hall
and at one of their meetings
the late Marion
Holloway suggested that
it would be a good idea
to establish a gardening
club at the hall – and
before she knew it,
Yvonne had volunteered
to set up Hounsdown
Garden Club! The club
was a success from the
start with 30 people
turning up to the very
first meeting.
Over the past 25 years,
the club has held numerous
shows where the talent
of local people was
showcased, with flower,
vegetable and craft sections
all being very well
supported. As time has
passed, however, the
focus of the club has
changed and the name of
the club was altered to
Hounsdown Garden &
Social Club, better
reflecting the activities
enjoyed by members.
There is still a membership
of around 30, but
instead of meeting all
year round they now
meet from 7.30pm on
the 3rd Friday of the
month from April to
October, and a pro-
gramme of interesting
speakers is arranged.
Looking back over the
past 25 years, Yvonne
says she has learned a lot
about gardening; she is
also the only one of the
original club committee
still serving.
New members are
always welcome; call
Chairman Sheila
Trusson on 023 8086

Spring Colour at Exbury
Exbury celebrates the
Glory of the Garden, as
the gardens burst into
incredible colour from
azaleas, rhododendrons
and bluebells. With more
than twenty miles of
‘technicolour’ pathways,
visitors are assured of a
vibrant experience. And,
just as the rhododendrons
come into bloom,
Exbury’s gardeners are
also celebrating a clutch of wins at the
RHS Spring Show in London. One of
the top awards went to an unnamed
hybrid with large pink flowers. “The
judges gave this more attention than
any other,” said head gardener John
Anderson. “We haven’t named it yet,
but visitors may see it, and other prizewinners
blooming in the Gardens.”
Other attractions at Exbury include a
lively art show from Four Seasons
Artists in the Gardens’ Five Arrows
Gallery, with paintings, etchings,
prints, cards and sculpture for sale. All
the work is based on flowers, plants
and the natural world. The show is
open until early June.

SHRUB PRUNING BASICS
By Peter York
The question most frequently
asked by visitors
to our garden (see
details below) is ‘How
do you keep your shrubs
so natural-looking?’
The simple answer is
‘By correct pruning’. In
the natural environment,
which is where all
species originate, plants
have existed for millennia
without any human
helping hand. Of course,
natural pruning does
occur due to stormy
weather and browsing
by wild animals, and the
size of plants has normally
evolved so that
they fit comfortably in
their natural environment.
It is true that they
can become rather
ragged, flowering ability
may be reduced, and
the flowers that do exist
may be high up on the
plant. This, plus the fact
that the majority of us
now possess rather
small gardens, means
that we normally have
to prune our shrubs to
keep them healthy and
to keep them within
their allocated space.
To prevent damage to
the shrub, always use a
clean, sharp pair of
good quality by-pass
secateurs. Use them so
that the thin, sharp blade
is on the side of the stem
that you want to retain;
otherwise the thick
blade may damage the
bark. Cuts are always
made just above where
a bud or shoot emerges
from the stem. Angle
the cut away from the
bud so that water will
run off and not rot the
cut end.
In the next issue of The
Herald: How to prune
spring-flowering
shrubs.
(Our garden at Atheling
Villas, Atheling Road,
Hythe, will be open on
Saturday 5th and
Sunday 6th June from
2 until 5pm. As usual,
there will be scrummy
homemade teas and lots
of home-raised plants
for sale.)
Busy Gardeners
Bartley Horticultural Society members have a busy
few weeks ahead of them as spring turns into summer.
On Thursday 20th May, guest speaker Paul
Templeton will give a talk entitled ‘Vegetables and
Vegetable Growing’ starting at 7.30pm in Copythorne
Parish Hall, and on Saturday 22nd May the society
holds its popular Plant Sale, also at Copythorne
Parish Hall.
New members and visitors are always welcome at
meetings (Annual subscription £5; visitors’ fee 50p).

Former Incinerator
to be Demolished
Demolition of one of Marchwood’s most prominent
buildings, the former waste incinerator on Normandy
Wayis expected to be completed by the end of June.
The work is being undertaken by specialists

Council.
Once demolition is complete, it is proposed to use
some of the former incinerator land to develop a more
modern and efficient Household Waste Recycling
Centre, allowing local residents to recycle their bulky

upgraded facility, which will be shared with
Marchwood Parish Council when available.
SMASHING NEWS
FOR RECYCLERS
New Forest District Council has introduced two initiatives
to make recycling easier for local residents.
People using the district’s bottle banks will no longer
have to separate their old glass bottles and jars into
green, brown and clear. Instead, all the glass can now
be placed into the same container. Glass collected by
NFDC is taken to a processing plant at Southampton
docks, where a machine has been installed to sort the
glass into colours, before it is recycled into new glass
bottles and jars. The switch to mixed glass is good
news for the environment, as it means the District
Council can operate a more efficient service, saving
vehicle mileage and fuel consumption. Glass should
not be put into recycling sacks for safety reasons, but
there are more than 100 glass recycling sites that take
old bottles and jars. However, items such as drinking
glasses, Pyrex dishes and vases cannot be recycled.
These items should be carefully wrapped in newspaper
or card and placed in the black sacks.
New Forest District Council has now added empty
aerosol cans to the list of items that can be recycled,
meaning empty aerosol can products such as furniture
polish, air-freshener and shaving foam can now be
placed into the clear recycling sacks.

BATTLE OF POLITICAL WILLS
By Nigel Riches, Wills & Probate Solicitor at Eric Robinson Solicitors in Hythe
Since the political campaigning of the three main parties
vying for government began, it has become
increasingly apparent that they all seem to struggle on
the matter of what to do with the
UK’s ageing population. One thing
is for sure, if you are fortunate
enough to have any assets to help you
in your old age, make sure you take
the proper steps to look after them
now before a new government starts
to make changes.
Beyond the mud-slinging and crossparty
accusations, each political party
manifesto has its own solution to
long term care. Unfortunately, they
are all flawed. The Liberals have now
removed free long term care for all as
they have admitted the country can’t
afford it; Labour’s figures are constantly
criticised for literally failing to add up; and, as
for how the Conservatives got a one-off lump sum
payment of £8,000, no one knows (it would not have

been from any insurance company when average
lump sum premiums for long term care annuities are
£90,000!)
The bottom line is that, as the over
85’s become the largest growing part
of our population, long term care is
going to become more and more of
an issue, whether people have assets
and funds for their old age of not.
People in my profession are seeing
an increasing number of people
realise this and come to us for solutions
of how to best preserve assets
and make sure that, if they lose their
capacity, their affairs are managed
by nominated individuals, not the
Courts.

Adult Learners Welcome Again
20 years ago, Applemore
School (its previous
name) provided the local
community with a wide
choice of evening classes,
on 4 evenings a
week, in subjects ranging
from cookery to car
mechanics and bookbinding
to bee- keeping.
That was in the days
before home entertainment
and high costs,
which killed off the service,
resulting in a new
generation not having
the opportunity to meet
others with similar interests,
in a pleasant venue,
at a reasonable cost.
However Roland Marsh,
recently appointed Head
at Applemore College, is
eager for this to change.
‘With our new
Community Co-ordinator
– Terry Noble in post,
we are looking to start a
vibrant, modern and
responsive Adult
Learning Programme
from September,” he
said.
The College has rooms
and facilities to hire during
evenings and weekends,
offering
opportunities for tutors,
trainers and groups with
ideas, hobbies and skills
they would like to share
with others, and make an
additional income for
themselves. The college
will help publicise
courses, with sponsor-
ship from Hampshire
Learning, and is keen to
hear from new and experienced
tutors in subjects
of interest that could be
offered in the programme.
If you have taught adults
previously, or would like
to get started now, a

Review Your Protected Rights Fund
By Mark Davis, Waterside Independent Financial Advisers Ltd
If you contracted out of the State Earnings Related
Pension Scheme (SERPS), later State Second Pension
(S2P), you may have built up a sizeable ‘Protected
Rights’ fund. This money is likely to be held in a personal
pension and may not be providing you with the
best investment potential.
When you contracted out, the Government paid a
rebate of your National Insurance Contributions into
a pension as determined by the individual. If you did
decide to contract out, you will lose some or all of
your entitlement to the State Second Pension.
It is important to note that the decision to contract out
will not affect your entitlement to the basic State
Pension. In line with the 2007 Pensions Act, contracting
out will be abolished in 2012. These changes
will only affect individuals when they reach State
Pension age on or after 6th April 2010.
The Protected Rights market has grown to such an
extent that estimated total accumulated funds exceed
£100 billion*. Individual investors may have amassed
funds of up to £50,000 - £60,000 which have often
been left, without review, in the same insured fund for
20 years. The investment fund a client holds (often by
default) will often bear no resemblance to the client’s
current risk profile, left in poorly performing life
company funds, commonly subject to high charges.
We help many clients with protected rights funds to
understand how their pension fund works, giving a

the most common issues we see when reviewing a
new client’s pension scheme is that they hold poorly
diversified investments and are taking too much risk.
Another frequent problem is pensions stuck in poorly
performing With Profits funds with low or zero

Free Help for
Community
Groups
Many voluntary organisations in the New Forest are
missing out on free help and advice available to them.
Community First New Forest has already helped
more than 200 local voluntary and community groups
over the past year, but the organisation believes that
many more are unaware of the assistance available.
Examples of the support provided include help with
finding funding, assistance with grant applications,
undertaking CRB checks, advice on setting up a local
group, and minibus hire. All these services – and
more – are free or offered at low cost, which is a real
help in the current economic climate.
Michael Clowes, Chief Executive of Community
First New Forest, commented: “At a time when the
recession is affecting many charities, the services we
offer can help to make a real difference. It can be difficult
for people to know where to turn for advice and
information. We are appealing to all the local voluntary
and community groups in the New Forest area to
join our organisation free of charge and benefit from
advice and practical help. We can always point
groups in the right direction, even if we can’t help
them ourselves”.
Organisations wishing to join Community First New
Forest, thus becoming eligible for support, can phone
01425 482773 or visit www.cfnf.org.uk

Rotary Raises Over
£3m in 3 Months
Members of Rotary in
Great Britain and Ireland
are saying a huge thank
you to the public after it
Divorce is an area of law everyone
feels they know something about.
Celebrity divorces are widely reported
in the press. A friend will tell you how
her solicitor has
“taken her husband to
the cleaners”, or a
colleague will complain
he has “lost his
children for good” It
is however a topic
where misunderstandings
and myths
abound.
Consider which of
these statements is
true or false:
• I am his common
law wife and am entitled
to the same as if I
were married to him.
• Mothers always get the children.
• The court always splits up everything
50:50.
• When a couple divorce, the wife
was revealed that over
£3m was raised for
ShelterBoxes, Water
Survival Boxes and

always gets the house.
• She hasn’t got a claim for money
from me any more because the divorce
has gone through.
• I haven’t committed
adultery, because I was
already separated from
my wife when it happened
Actually none of these
statements is true.
Every divorce is different,
and the law is
designed to be able to
consider individual and
unique circumstances,
and still achieve fairness.
If you need
advice on divorce, it
really does pay to listen
to a specialist family solicitor.

ON THE ROAD
CHOOSING A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR
If you are paying
someone to teach you
to drive, they must be
approved and registered
with the Driving
Standards Agency
(DSA). Only a registered
approved driving
instructor (ADI) can
charge money for
teaching you to drive.
Recent surveys indicate
that nine in ten
learners who passed
both theory and practical
tests first time
were taught by an
instructor. A fully
qualified approved
driving instructor
(ADI) must display a
green certificate on the
windscreen of the car
while teaching you.
Some trainee driving
instructors are granted
a licence so they can
gain experience before
their qualifying examination.
In this case, the
trainee driving instructor
must display a pink
certificate on the windscreen.
DSA is responsible for
maintaining and
checking the standards
of all approved driving
instructors (ADI), who
to qualify must:
• have held a full driving
licence for at least
four years

DSA, as a government
agency, is not allowed
to recommend an
instructor. We suggest
that you ask friends
and relatives to recommend
someone they
know. You could also
look in a local business
directory for ADIs in
your area. Try and
choose an instructor
who:
• has a good reputation
• is reliable and punctual
• has a car that suits
you
Rules for Learner Drivers
Before you start to drive, you must:
• hold a valid, provisional driving licence
for Great Britain or Northern Ireland
• make sure that any vehicle you drive is
roadworthy and properly taxed and
insured
It is important to learn safe driving practice
from the beginning of your driving
career because bad habits are hard to
break.
It is unlikely that anyone except an
approved driving instructor (ADI) would
have the experience, knowledge and train-
ing to teach you properly. Learning safe
driving habits from the start will improve
the safety of yourself and other road users.
If you want to practise your driving with
an accompanying driver, the accompanying
driver must be over the age of 21 and
must have held (and still hold) a full
licence, in the relevant vehicle category,
for three years.
As a learner driver you must display ‘L’
plates in a conspicuous position on the
front and rear of the vehicle you are driving.

CHANGES AT BARTLEY -
INDEPENDENT BMW SPECIALISTS
Since the start of 2010 there have been
substantial developments at Bartley
Independent BMW Specialists, as the
workshops have undergone minor
refurbishment; a fully BMW qualified
senior technician has joined the team;
and a top of the range 4 post electro -
hydraulic lift has been installed, complete
with computerised laser 4 wheel
alignment equipment. Bartley have
also added to their diagnostic capability,
by investing in the latest BMW
diagnostic equipment, allowing them
to carry out even more extensive diagnostic
work on all BMWs, as well as
now becoming an accredited reseller
for Dension BMW Audio systems, providing
a full range of ipod, MP3 and
Bluetooth solutions for your BMW.
Ultra precise checks and full laser 4
wheel alignment are now available,
and whilst BMW Dealerships charge
approximately £400 for this type of
wheel alignment, Bartley have a fixed
charge of just £110 plus VAT. The service
takes between 1 and 2 hours,
depending on the adjustments required,
and can be carried out while you wait.
Bartley BMW is offering a free wheel
alignment check with any inspection 2
service upon production of this article
until 31st October 2010.
Located in Totton, just 5 minutes from
junction 2 or 3 of the M27, Bartley
Independent BMW Specialists offer a
personal, professional, affordable service;
pop in to see the team or contact
them on 023 80 661499 or www.

Give Horses
Extra Care
Now that the finer weather is here,
horse-riders are getting out and about,
especially across the Forest. Drivers,
therefore, should take extra care and
pay special heed to horse and rider
warning signs, watch out for horses
along the roads and lanes and be prepared
to slow right down and pass
them with great care. Even the best
trained horse or pony can, on occasion,
behave in an unexpected fashion, so
motorists should be very careful when
passing them and avoid the need for
sudden braking or swerving.

ON THE ROAD
Driving Test’s 75th Anniversary
In the early days of
motoring, there were
few rules or regulations.
In 1893, France was the
first country in the world
to introduce a driving
test, along with the first
vehicle registration
plates and parking
restrictions. Although
the first car and driver
licences were introduced
in Britain in 1903, testing
was unknown for
almost another 30 years.
Miss Vera Hedges Butler
was the first British
woman to pass a driving
test: as it was 1900, and
drivers were not yet
being tested in Britain,
the intrepid Miss Hedges
Butler decided to go all
the way to Paris to take
the French test.
By the early 1930s,
motoring had become
more popular and more
affordable. However,
rules and regulations
were scant and drivers
received only basic
instructions before being
allowed on the roads.
Consequently, accidents
and fatalities began to
reach worrying propor-

tions. Even early efforts
to improve road safety
were unable to halt the
mounting death toll. In
1934, 7,343 people were
killed on Britain’s roads,
despite there being just
2.4 million vehicles on
the road, 1.5 million of
which were cars.
Public concern was
growing and drastic
action was needed.
Transport Minister
Oliver Stanley pushed
for the introduction of
various road safety measures,
including formal
testing for drivers. In
1935, his successor

Leslie Hore-Belisha,
introduced the driving
test: within a year the
death toll had fallen by
nearly a thousand.
Announcing the introduction
of the driving
test, Leslie Hore-Belisha
said: “Driving is an art
in which those who are
engaged should, in the
interest of their own and
of the public’s safety,
take the greatest pains to
make themselves proficient”.
Decades later
this still holds true and is
summed up in the DSA’s
maxim, ‘Safe driving
for life’.”
BUS SERVICE

ALL IN A DAYS WORK
FUNDRAISING VOLUNTEERS
To support its programme of respite and outreach for young carers and vulnerable
children, the Honeypot Charity is in need of volunteers who can help with any of
the following: mailings, IT projects and admin, street collections, or fundraising
events.
There is no minimum requirement of how much time you can give, just a commitment
to helping and an interest in one or more of the above tasks.
Time spent at Honeypot
House is incredibly
important to young carers
and vulnerable children
as it is often the
only opportunity they
will have to play safely
outdoors and to relax.
For many young carers
who care for an adult
365 days of the year, a
Honeypot holiday gives
them their only chance to
be children again.
For more information,
call Honeypot’s
Fundraising Department
