This month's photo is of our SItting With Jane bench which is located within the Walled Garden. The Sitting With Jane trail is a creative celebration of Jane Austen's heritage in and around Basingstoke and the benches are on display from 17 June to 31 August. After this they will be auctioned to raise the much needed funds for the Ark Cancer Charity. Ten benches are located throughout the town, eleven throughout the Borough and three further afield in Alton, Chawton and Winchester.

To follow the trail, leaflets can be picked up at various locations (Festival Place, Library etc). There is also a phone app available free from The App Store and on Google Play. More information can also be found on their website www.sittingwithjane.com You can also visit our Twitter page @kempkourier where we have been sharing more up to date information on other competitions to enter. The September litterpick will be held on Sunday 10th September, meeting at 10am at Buckingham Parade (weather permitting). Litterpickers and sacks provided.

Their passion is to see children raised out of poverty, cared for in a loving home and Local MP Maria Miller supporting Mark and Julie and educated to the highest the work of CHILD’s Trust. standard. It was during a business trip to Delhi, India in the late 1990's that Mark and Julie were handed a baby girl by a poverty stricken mother. This incident touched their hearts and ignited a God-given desire to support children in India and now also in Bangladesh, Established in 1999, the work of CHILD's Trust has seen hundreds of children's lives changed. Mark and Julie have since self-funded numerous visits to Asia and have built close relationships with locals, who work on the projects that CHILD's Trust funds. These funds are used to alleviate poverty for children, giving them a hope and a future. During 2017 the charity reached a landmark, not only is it celebrating being 18 years old, it has also received to date £1million in donations to carry out the work in India and Bangladesh.

QUESTION: Page 42: Useful

My employment has been terminated and I have been told I have to sign a document called a Settlement Agreement and get my own legal advice. Why is this necessary?

ANSWER:

Paul Cowdery, Partner Lawyer at Clarke & Son replies

When an employment relationship ends, an employee will often be asked to sign a Settlement Agreement. Principally this document records the terms of agreement between the employer and the employee and is generally intended to be in full and final settlement of any claims the employee may have relating to the termination of his or her employment. As part of the process, the employee is required to take independent legal advice. Normally the employer pays the cost of doing this as this step is necessary so that the Settlement Agreement is enforceable. We are able to provide this advice to employees which includes explaining their legal rights and the impact of the Settlement Agreement. You should, in any event, seek legal advice on your position if your employment is being brought to an end by your employer or in circumstances where you feel compelled to give notice yourself. If you would like to discuss employment issues or specifically Settlement Agreements, then please contact Paul Cowdery Email: pcowdery@clarkeandson.co.uk on Tel: 01256 320 555. Do you have a legal query? Email theeditor@kempshottmagazine.fsnet.co.uk and the answer will be printed in the next edition of the Kempshott Kourier.

KEMPSHOTT INFANT SCHOOL

The end of term is fast approaching and we have been so busy at Kempshott Infant School! Year 2 had a brilliant day at Portchester! The sun shone, (VERY warmly!) and the children behaved beautifully. They bravely climbed to the top of the Keep and had fun exploring the grounds after their picnic. Apparently, dressing up as Knights and Princesses was the best bit! The Year 1 trip to Hillier’s Arboretum was very exciting. The children found all kinds of creatures in the plants and in the pond. Again, the weather was fine and a good day was had by all. Year R went on an expedition to Wellington Country Park. The ride on the coach was exciting enough, but then we explored the park and collected leaves, twigs and flowers to make a collage. We visited the farm and loved telling the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff to some real, live goats! The train ride was definitely the best bit of Year R’s day! Year 2 really surpassed themselves this year with their end of year production, “Pirates and Mermaids.” The children were absolutely fantastic and we are hugely proud of them. They gave a truly outstanding performance as a finale to their time at Kempshott Infant School. As we celebrate Final Assemblies, the children look back on a year to be proud of when they have done their best and achieved many of their goals. They can also look forward to an exciting year full of challenge, discovery and fun. We wish them a sunny and joyful holiday in between and look forward to a new year in September. Happy Holidays!

KEMPSHOTT JUNIOR SCHOOL

Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils for their stunning SATs results, you have done yourselves and Kempshott Junior School proud. Year 6 performed The Lion King for their end of term production which was outstanding and very professional. Pupils also enjoyed an end of term treat at JJs and had an end of Year 6 BBQ. Year 5 pupils are not only looking forward to their own end of year production in year 6 (which is a long way off) but a cast of pupils are excited about performing Shakespeare in November – best get started! Year 3 enjoyed making photo frames in their design technology… a tough choice now lies ahead of who they will give it to. Year 4 enjoyed their last trip together which was a day trip Hawk conservancy. A fantastic frenzy of sporting activities took place on 29 June for the Junior School sports day. The weather allowed us to enjoy the event without getting too hot or wet! Beech house won the overall event. A music concert took place on Monday 10th July in which violin, woodwind, guitars and keyboard players performed to their parents. Also taking part in the extravaganza was Glee choir and orchestra. Our journey supporting Air Ambulance has ended and we are proud to announce that we have raised over £1000 to support this worthy cause. What or who will be the charity we support next year…? Our new Year 3 pupils have spent time transisting to the Junior school and now feel ready to start shortly. They met their new teachers and buddies as well as spent an afternoon producing work to display in their new classroom. Thank you to everyone who has supported Kempshott Junior School this year, we wish you a very happy holiday. Daisy and Katie 6MR

KEMPSHOTT UNDER FIVES PRESCHOOL

What a GREAT year we’ve had at Kempshott Under Fives. A few weeks ago we sadly said goodbye to our oldest children. We wish them so much luck and happiness on their journeys with their new schools; we know they are all completely ready for this next adventure! We had a fabulous leavers party with lots of fun and games, followed by a Teddy Bears Picnic with parents, family and friends. There have been so many highlights this year - we’ve had Mums and Dad’s with us to celebrate Mothers and Fathers Days… Hosted Teddy Bears Picnics and Easter Egg Hunts… Sung and danced at Christmas parties and Preschool Discos and held a mini Olympics for our sports stars! And all through the year our little ones have been learning through play and growing into amazing little individuals. It’s been a record year for fundraising - our wonderful parents and local businesses such as Sainsbury’s have all made a huge impact on our fundraising targets. We have also been a chosen charity for our local Waitrose and Co-op stores, which has been a superb boost for our fundraising efforts. We are now looking forward to welcoming our new starters to Kempshott Under Fives in September and hearing all about our returning children’s summer adventures. Happy Holidays everyone! Preschool opens for the new academic year on Tuesday 5th September. For preschool registration enquiries please contact Yvonne Hunt, Preschool Leader, on 07951 660401, or at kempu5@aol.co.uk. Kempshott Under Fives is part of Hatch Warren Under Fives Preschool. www.kempshottunderfives.co.uk

Drawing a picture

I want to draw a picture of someone half my age Attempting to capture her likeness and transfer it to a page As I’m not too good at art I’ll try putting it to the test With closed eyes I visualise and I can only do my best Putting pencil to paper I sketch an outline of her face Sitting back to look at it for a first effort, I think it no disgrace I think I have the eyes right though the left one appears too big? For her it will have to be near perfect, or my own grave I’ll have to dig But she really is a sweetie, her happiness is the best So this picture has to be quite buoyant as I don’t want her upset or stressed She can laugh and sing and dance around just to make us all feel good That’s why this likeness has to show her happy nature, as any portrait should Finished with all the shading it looks too heavy, too dark So thinning out all my pencil rubs to bring back that brightness spark That’s it I’m done, the face is right, blond tresses all nice and neat Here’s hoping it will have the desired effect, of knocking her off her feet!

NEIGHBOURHOOD

WATCH "We would like to update everyone as to what is happening in Neighbourhood Watch and Basingstoke policing. BDNWA will be publishing the latest officer list in the next edition of their newsletter. You may not know that Brian works voluntarily on Fridays in the Parklands Police office, where he maintains close co-operation with all officers up to and including our Borough Commander CI Matthew Reeves. In addition, BDNWA are working with National NW/ Alert/Ourwatch on using a central database which it is hoped will make it much easier for residents to find and join a local scheme, plus it makes scheme administration somewhat easier. All coordinators can, if they wish, register their scheme and invite members to register as well. We hope that many will opt to do so, although this is not compulsory. Meantime, if you don't know who your coordinator is or if you are interested in learning more about starting a scheme, please contact Anne/Brian (brian.adams@ hampshire.pnn.police.uk) and we can point you in the right direction." Regards

Brian

KEMPSHOTT COMMUNITY PLAN We are nearly at the final stage … it has been a long haul fitting in work on the Community Plan along with

everything else in life … but we are now preparing the final consultation with residents on the shape of Kempshott in the future. From the first general consultation and opinion survey we have focused on traffic and r o a d s , green spaces, cycling, and wellbeing of older residents. We hope to have that consultation distributed to all households in September – explaining all the consultations and investigations we have done and asking residents for their final decisions on the Kempshott we all want to see in future years and how to get the best for Kempshott in view of the longterm developments which we are pretty certain will happen in the next 20 years. One thing which has become clear is that a neighbourhood with a Parish Council has a lot more clout in deciding its fate than one without. Love them or hate them they are the most effective local mechanism for influencing things in Basingstoke - look at Chineham, Rooksdown and Sherfield Park – it is not just the old communities which have Parish Councils, it’s a mechanism any neighbourhood can have, if they wish. For more information see our website www. kempshottcommunityplan.org.uk. The final stage before starting the big consultation has been completing the survey of ‘Older Residents and their Wellbeing’. The findings of that exercise will be on our website by the end of July as you read this piece. Kempshott has always been a ‘can do’ community – looking after its own needs wherever possible. It is clear that there are a number of things we can do together to make life easier for ourselves as we all grow older. None of us want to move out of Kempshott and as most of us are computer savvy to at least some extent, there is great potential for using technology to make life easier as we grow older – especially as we drive less and less. The geography of Kempshott is not ideal but that is one of the things we cannot change – we need to keep working on making the very best of what we have. The Manydown development was initially seen as a big immediate threat to our lifestyle on the edge of town, but that threat has receded to a time in the future, probably after 2029. More inexorable have been the piecemeal developments along the A30 which continue apace without the advantage for Beggarwood and Kempshott residents of large scale development controls. We would appeal to all residents to give us their final decisions in September – the first consultation received an 18% response rate - lets try and make the final consultation response rate nearer to an election turnout – 60%!

CANCELLING A HOLIDAY

Your rights to cancel a holiday (or a particular part of a holiday like a flight or a hotel booking) usually depend on the terms and conditions of your booking, and your reason for wanting to cancel. You might be entitled to cancel the holiday without a cancellation fee if the holiday company changes the holiday or puts the price up after you book. Check your travel insurance You might be covered for cancelling a trip if you have travel insurance - check your policy or contact the insurance company if you’re not sure. If you’ve changed your mind or can’t go If you’ve changed your mind about a holiday or you can’t go anymore (eg because of an emergency), you should check the terms and conditions of your booking to see what your options are. It’s likely that you’ll either have to pay a cancellation fee or won’t be entitled to any refund at all. Contact the company if you can’t find your terms and conditions. If a holiday company changes the holiday after you book it You have the legal right to cancel without charge if the company has made ‘major changes’ to the holiday after you booked it. There’s no exact definition for what a major change is. Example You booked a holiday including a large room at a resort. The company you booked with contacts you to say that your booking has changed to another resort with a smaller room. You can argue that this is a major change. Contact the company you booked with and explain to them why the original booking was important to your circumstances and explain why you think the changes are ‘major’. Ask for a refund or to rearrange the holiday. If the price of your holiday increases after you book You have the legal right to get a refund or book a different holiday if the company makes a ‘major increase’ to the price of the holiday. There’s no exact definition for what a major increase is - the Association of British Travel Agents suggests that 10% or more is a ‘major increase’. However, this is only a guide. Example You book a package online holiday for £500. The company you booked with contacts you 2 weeks later and says the price is now £600. This would be considered a major increase because the price has gone up more than 10%. If you think that the increase is major, you’ll need to explain this to the company and ask to cancel without a fee.

What is income tax

If the price went up by £40 and you think it’s unreasonable, you could still try and say that the price is a ‘major increase’, even though it’s less than 10% - there are no strict guidelines.

Income tax is a tax on income including:

BASINGSTOKE LIONS CLUB (Website www.basingstokelions.org.uk)

We did the old soft shoe shuffle with the top jobs in the Club this month. We swapped our first woman President (who was voted Lion of the year) for our second woman President at a convivial lunch in the Red Lion. Normally we just have a BBQ which is a nice informal way to round off the year. But this year our Welfare Chairman, Derick Lacey, who has done the job for more years than most of us can remember, was awarded a Melvin Jones Fellowship in acknowledgement of the exceptional job he has done supporting those in need in Basingstoke. What pleased him more than anything else were the many, many tributes received from the people he has dealt with and helped over the years. He was truly moved. Pictures of the event will be placed on the Club News page of our website. FUNDRAISING: The Lions Den went to four school events. We have to congratulate Four Lanes school. Not only did they put on an exceptional event, but the kids got so expert at putting that we had to replenish our stock of prizes half way through the afternoon. Grrrrrrr! UPCOMING EVENTS: 02/09/2017 Abseil Down the Spinnaker Tower: Our Immediate Past President Ann Vicars is doing this to support the ABF Soldiers Charity. If you’d like to sponsor her you can do so by contacting her through our website and then donating digitally to MS A VICARS - Nationwide Sort Code 07 01 16 - Acct 49561062 – Ref.

5 Healthy AND Tasty Switches to Reduce your Added Sugar Consumption

There is a huge difference between natural sugar and added sugar with the way they affect your body…

Natural sugar (found in foods such as fruits and milk) doesn’t access the liver as quickly and forcefully as added sugar. Natural sugar is perfectly okay, meaning yes, 2-3 pieces of fruit a day is GOOD for you!



Added sugar is the ‘bad sugar’ and the one you want to be avoiding (see the list below for hidden names on nutrition labels for added sugar). If you don’t want to go around reading nutrition labels, here are 5 simple food swaps to support a healthy and happy body. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Swap a normal can of coke for a diet version (read this blog regarding diet soft drinks). Swap a flavoured yogurt for a natural yoghurt and add your own fruit to boost the flavour. Swap a fruit juice for a glass of water mixed with no added sugar squash. Swap your sugary breakfast cereal for a hearty bowl of porridge. Swap a mid afternoon biscuit for rice cakes.

Here are a few examples of different names for added sugar on a nutrition label: Brown sugar Corn syrup/ high fructose corn syrup Dextrose Maltose Sucrose White granulated sugar Malt syrup Consuming too much added sugar on a consistent basis damages your teeth, digestive system and overall state of health. Make a healthy swap each day and reap the benefits  “Love yourself enough to live a healthy lifestyle” – Anonymous Article by Steph Catlin @ Food Is Life For more tips and information, please follow my work or contact me via: Website: www.foodislifeuk.com Facebook: @foodislifeuk Instagram: foodislife.uk CIVIL Twitter:SERVICE @foodislifeuk BASINGSTOKE BASINGSTOKE RETIREMENT FELLOWSHIP

Kempshott Wildlife,

Green Space

Old Down & Beggarwood Wildlife Group

The wildflowers on both on Old Down and Beggarwood during June and July have again been fantastic. Indeed the increase of wildflowers on Beggarwood compared to last year is really noticeable and that has meant an increase in butterflies, bees and bugs. It is particularly lovely to see more butterflies and this July there is definitely a good number around on both sites. Beggarwood is looking really good this summer due to the wildflowers becoming well established – such as banks of rosebay willow herb, a substantial patch of pyramidal orchids, groups of orange hawkweed and a mix of knapweed and ladies bedstraw. Here in the South, Orange hawkweed has the local name of ‘fox and cubs’ (in other areas known as ‘grim the collier’) - surprisingly it is rare to see on Old Down but seems to have taken to Beggarwood.

Orange Hawkweed

Ladies Bedstraw and Knapweed

The LNR (Local Natural Reserve) designation for Beggarwood is imminent and may actually be in place by the time this report is published. The Group and the council work together on site management plans and have recently agreed a two year ‘cut and clear’ rotation for most of the site with a few areas needing an annual rotation. ‘Cut and clear’ encourages the wildflowers and strengthens bushes and shrubs and, of course, keeps paths clear. General cutting back and tidying up and also the spreading of flower seeds is carried out by the work parties – so please try to come along to help out as the Group is rather short of hands for Beggarwood. Work parties: For Old Down, we meet outside Old Down Hall every Thursday 10-12noon. For Beggarwood, we meet monthly at The Maze, usually on the third Saturday of the month 10 -12noon. Always check our website just in case there is a change in dates and also for further information about work parties and events. Internet: www.olddownandbeggarwood.org.uk

FUZZY DROVE CONSERVATION GROUP Many thanks to all our supporters who attended our public Annual General Meeting at the end of June. We were delighted to see a mixture of volunteers, supporters and new faces who are interested in our work. We presented our achievements of the past year and our plans for the year ahead. If you weren’t able to attend, but would like to see what was discussed the presentation and accompanying notes can be found on our website www.fuzzydrove.co.uk - and there is a link at the top of the home page to the AGM information. One of the items discussed at the AGM were our plans for wildlife surveying and monitoring in Fuzzy Drove. Following on from our hedgehog survey and the Big Garden Birdwatch earlier in the year, we are keen to create a good record of all the wildlife that Fuzzy Drove supports. We need your help to do this. We have set up a dedicated email address wildlife@fuzzydrove.co.uk and are asking our supporters to email us with any wildlife sightings from Fuzzy Drove or adjacent gardens. We just need to know what you saw (birds, mammals, insects, anything else!) and the date and time. If you manage to get a photo, please do attach that to the email. In due course we hope to have a webform on the website and perhaps a smartphone app to make recording sightings even easier. We’ll be keeping the list of all the wildlife seen in or adjacent to Fuzzy Drove updated on our website. There are no working parties in August as we take a break to recharge our batteries before planting begins again in September – dates will be publicised on our website and our facebook page. We also plan to hold a children’s event in Fuzzy Drove on 9th September – please see our website for more details.

Butterfly Delights At the beginning of July the meadow species of butterfly were getting into their stride. We were a bit concerned as the year had a shaky start but, as it progresses, things are turning out fairly well. The hot spell at the end of June did the butterfly population no harm at all. The numbers of Meadow Brown and Ringlet are up, while the Marbled Whites are having their best year for some time. We are currently awash with Small and Essex Skippers. They are difficult to tell apart and for recording purposes we make no distinction, thank goodness. There is a difference in flight times, with the Small Skippers appearing first at the end of June and peaking in mid July and going through to the middle of August. The Essex Skippers start later, at the beginning of July, peaking at the end of July and going through to the end of August. These are timings for an average year, but this year appears to be running two weeks early. Vandals in the Old Orchard During the evening of Friday, 15th June, a group of youngsters who were celebrating finishing their exams descended on the Orchard. Apart from being noisy and annoying the local residents, they also tried to pull down one of the fruit trees, a crab apple (Malus sylvestris), but fortunately with only limited success. This is a photo of the tree before members did a temporary rescue job on the Saturday morning. We then returned on the Monday to carry out a permanent repair and to meet two of our local Police Community Support Officers who were investigating the incident. Fund Raising Plant Sales This year we, in conjunction with Friends of Stratton Park, managed to raise over £200 from plant sales. Our main event was at the Kempshott Junior School Fair, supplemented by a couple "pop-up" sales stalls outside Tesco at Buckingham Parade. Many thanks to all those residents who, through their purchases, made a much needed contribution to our funds. Orchid Footnote At the height of the orchid season (mid to late-June) there were 250 Pyramidal Orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis) in Down Grange Meadow, our best year yet. In general it has been a great orchid year, with Bee Orchids (Orphrys apifera) popping up all round Basingstoke.

Friends of Stratton Park

Our website is: friendsofstrattonpark.org.uk or email us: friendsofstrattonpark@sky.com

Friends of Stratton Park is a pretty low key group these days. The few members work so our activities are limited. Each summer we still generate a little funding and use that to buy Spring bulbs to plant in the Autumn. We have in the past worked with Basingstoke Council to increase the variety of trees in the park, but our experience in the last couple of years is of deliberate vandalism with new trees being ripped out or broken as soon as planted. So that's it – there will be no more new trees. It’s sad that the actions of a few affect the quality of life of the many. From time to time we also benefit from being able to call on Community Service teams to do some of the more physical jobs like rebuilding dead hedging and clearing undergrowth. If any of the recently arrived residents of the Berg and Pack Lane areas - for whom this is their local park - would like to help in any of these tasks, or have ideas of their own for improvements to the quality of the park, we would be delighted to hear from them.

PROBUS FIRST LUNCH OF THE 2017 SEASON

Dr Nick Waring, the new President of the Probus Club of Basingstoke, had an interesting first lunch of the new season at the Test Valley Golf Club. The Club had twin guests of honour, the Worshipful the Mayor of Basingstoke & Deane BC, Cllr Paul Frankum, and also his mother Cllr Jane Frankum who is the Lady Mayoress. On behalf of the Probus Club Dr Waring presented a cheque to the Mayor in aid of his charity appeal. The speaker was retired RAF Wing Commander, Bryan Jenkins, from Sherfield on Loddon, who gave an audio visual presentation about his experiences as an engineering officer in the Cold War at a RAF Vulcan station.

Bryan, himself a member of the Probus Club of Basingstoke and president of the Basingstoke branch of the RAFA, told about his years at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire which along with nine other RAF stations in eastern England was home to the V bomber nuclear strike force in the early/mid 1960s. The Avro Vulcan, with its famous delta wing design was joined by the Handley Page Victor and the Vickers Valiant. Probus members were alarmed to hear about the change of UK government defence policy in the swinging sixties. Pre 1960 they had the land based Blue Streak intercontinental ballistic missile. This was cancelled in February 1960 going instead for an air craft based system using the Blue Steel air to ground missile. The Blue Steel was easily fitted to the Vulcan. However this was cancelled after two months when the UK decided to buy the US built Skybolt missile. But this was cancelled by the US in December 1962 in preference to a submarine task force that would be able to fire the Polaris intercontinental ballistic missile. The UK had to follow suit and the Royal Navy took on the role of nuclear deterrence in June 1969 with nuclear powered submarines that could launch this sea to land missile. The V bomber nuclear defence programme was abandoned, the planes re-rolling with tactical nuclear weapons and conventional ordnance. However before this final change of direction there were interesting and occasionally alarming times at RAF Waddington. Of 27 Vulcans based at this station three were on constant standby fully fuelled and loaded with nuclear weapons ready to be in the air within the famous four minute warning. The Vulcan flight crew of five officers were not allowed off base during their period of duty. All three crews lived, ate and slept adjacent to their aircraft. On one practice scramble the pilot could not unlock the door to enter the Vulcan. This was because the lock had frozen so he had to do what many motorists had to do in the winter back then, he warmed the lock and key with his cigarette lighter. It beggars belief what would have happened if he was a non-smoker and this was a real emergency. And yet RAF Waddington was selected to be an airfield that could accept civilian aircraft that had developed in flight faults. This meant having to spread foam on the runway to help planes land when their undercarriage would not go down securely. It could then take up to eight hours to have the runway clear and ready for the Vulcans to take off. Fortunately they never experienced a four minute warning during these episodes. Even though they did not always carry nuclear bombs, the Vulcan could carry twenty one 1000 lbs iron bombs and it was necessary to undertake regular bombing practice. This was usually without ordnance and the Vulcan would be airborne for five hours at a time. To ensure the highest skills and keep up morale there were regular bombing competitions against the USAF. The famous attack on Stanley airfield in the Falklands was made by a Vulcan using conventional 1000 lb iron bombs and the plane was refuelled mid flight by converted V bombers, the Handley Page Victor. All Vulcans had the capability to refuel in flight and they even went nonstop to Australia which meant in flight refuelling operations, some at night. There was a problem in that although the refuelling probe was illuminated by a spot light for the pilot of the Vulcan to guide it on to the trailing drogue, it really was not bright enough. Bryan had to find a solution, but had to use existing kit and was not permitted to go outside to obtain the ideal solution. No doubt the MoD was conscious that they must not over spend their budget. The last Vulcan squadron was disbanded in March 1984 leaving only the display team to fly on for many years.

CHRISTMAS SHOE BOX APPEAL - 2017

Although Christmas still seems a long time away, now is the time of year our thoughts turn again to the gift of Christmas Shoe Boxes. Over the last few years readers of The Kempshott Kourier have given very generous support to this Appeal and have donated hundreds of boxes to this caring, humanitarian cause. Last year over 20,000 boxes were collected by the Rotary movement in Hampshire alone and distributed by members of Rotary. This Christmas Rotary will again be collecting and transporting Christmas shoe boxes for children who live in the mountains and very poor regions of Montenegro, Albania, Romania and Moldova. You are invited to make up and donate shoeboxes, which will bring joy and delight to these children who have virtually nothing. If you would like to make up a box here are some helpful suggestions: Choose the sex and age range for the child you would like to receive your box. The age ranges for boxes are: 1- 3 years, 4 - 7 years, 8 -11 years, 12 - 15 years. Please ensure that all items included are new or ‘as new’.Last year there was a great shortage of boxes for children in the older age groups. Suggested items you might include: Learning toys, mosaics, Lego, games, balls, jigsaws, modeling clay, sticky tape, coloured paper, skipping ropes, playing cards, dominoes, chess sets and clothing such as socks, gloves, pants, tights, hats, scarves. Depending on the age you select you may like to include items for use at school, e.g. ball point pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, paper, colouring pencils, solar powered calculators, geometry sets. Soap, combs, face cloths, hand cream, talc, football memorabilia of famous teams, sports magazines, books, especially paper-back English Classics. Please do not include: Food, drinks, liquids, items for the bath, sweets, large soft toys. swimwear, toilet rolls, large items of clothing, toy soldiers, toy guns and other military-type toys, penknives, anything breakable or anything which needs a battery. While you are making up your box think of the delight on the face of ‘your child’ when they open their box that you have sent to them. Please cover your box and lid separately with decorative paper and secure the lid with strong elastic bands (the boxes need to be opened easily as they may be inspected by Customs). Put a sticky label on the outside of your box and indicate the sex and age range you have chosen. Please donate £1 per box to help to cover the cost of transportation costs and attach the coin to the outside of the lid.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE SELF-BUILD REVOLUTION?

A survey commissioned by the Building Societies Association (BSA), published in 2011, suggested that 53% of people in the UK would consider building their own home. It’s not difficult to see why; self-builders can often save up to 30% of the cost of buying an existing home, according to the National Custom & Self Build Association. In theory, this means the average self-build 3-bedroom home would cost £300,000 to build, instead of £430,000 to buy. Self-builders can be those who already own a plot of land, attached to their current home, or those who purchase a plot of land to build on. Furthermore, self-building does not always mean you have to move into the property once it is completed, it is quite common for self-builders to build a home for investment purposes and rent it out. If you are one of the 53% who has considered building a home, here are four main points to consider: 1. Finding a plot of land - If you already own the plot as part of your current property you will need to appoint a solicitor to separate it from the remaining property. If you intend to do this, and you have an existing mortgage on your current home, you will need to gain the agreement from your current lender to remove an element of the land from their security. 2. Design & planning - If building on a plot you own or you wish to make any changes to pre-existing permissions you will need to apply to your local authority for planning permission. It is important at this point to have the design of the property you wish to build. Appointing a qualified architect will help ensure the design of the property will satisfy planning requirements.

3. Finding the right builder - You may know a builder to instruct, but a vital part of a self-build project is to use a qualified and experienced builder or building firm. It is advisable to obtain several quotes and acquire references before deciding on the builder you engage. 4. Financing the project - Securing finance for a self-build home may not be as daunting as it sounds. “Self-build” mortgages are not so different to ‘regular’ mortgages. The amount you can borrow is determined by your income or, if you are building to let, the post completion rent. The mortgage amount required will depend on the costs of the project and the value of the completed home. Depending on the lender and mortgage, funding can be made in set ‘stages’ throughout the project or flexibly as you need them. Finally, some self-build mortgages are ‘interest only’ until completion of the build, which helps keep initial costs down. Newbury Building Society is experienced in lending SelfBuild mortgages. If you would like to learn more, contact us today and make an appointment. We’d love to help your dream home become a reality!

KANCARE COFFEE CLUBATAKES HIGH TEA AT ANTROBUS HALL ‘Magical Mervyn Coach’ mystery tour (with full commentary) brought 29 members and volunteers to Antrobus Hall, Amesbury on Friday 26th of May. We enjoyed a superb high tea provided by the local WI. After relaxing in the sun on the terrace whilst watching bowls on the lawn we were taken home via a rural route, (again with a ‘Mervyn’ commentary). Normally the Coffee Club meets every Friday at the Basingstoke Rugby Club in Coniston road at 10am for coffee/tea and cakes plus the all important chat. Anyone in the Kempshott area is welcome and transport can be arranged if necessary. Our next ‘event’ will be a trip to Exebury Gardens which is planned for (but not yet confirmed) Friday 14th of July.

BASINGSTOKE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Our speaker back in June, on what must have been the hottest evening of the year so far, was Barry Clarke who is the plant records officer for The Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Romsey. However, his subject was Plant Collecting and centred around his trips to China and New Zealand with references to Australia where he lived for a time. From the age of three right through to his mid-twenties Barry was a professional dancer but when an opportunity came to purchase a small plant nursery on the Isle of Wight his career took a completely different turn! Currently living near Stockbridge, Barry holds the National Collections of Lobelia, Rubus, Asclepias and Roscoea Species (you can search the names on the internet to see what they include!). He is also very involved with Plant Heritage through the NCCPG (National Council for the Conservation of Plants & Gardens). Plant Heritage are present at many of the RHS Shows and have a whole area devoted to the National Collections at the Hampton Court Flower Show every year. I think this is where my wife and I first encountered Barry displaying his Rubus collection. Anything unusual and prickly tends to catch our attention but for some of the plants he sells it’s definitely a case of “handle with care”! Barry’s plant collecting journeys were not without some dramas. On one occasion he wandered off from the forest path and was “lost” for 5 hours. He eventually noticed some overhead power lines so followed them getting very scratched along the way having to try and keep looking up to check his direction, eventually he came to a road – he said it had taught him a lesson. The pictures he showed illustrated his talk perfectly and despite the hot and airless conditions that evening those attending remained glued to their seats. However, before you all decide to do a bit of pruning while you are away on your overseas holidays with a view to adding something different to your garden – don’t – the Customs folk may not like it nor will you if they fine you! Many countries require you to have permits to go “plant hunting” and in China all items collected must go through a rigorous checking process in Beijing. In New Zealand, there are even different permits required for both government land and private land made all the more difficult by a lack of visible boundaries in some places! During the break Barry then judged our in-house competition with the results as follows: Classes:- 1st 2nd 3rd 1. Specimen rose Catherine Clayton, Dave Buckland, Margaret Payne 2. Floribunda rose stem Dave Buckland Margaret Payne Daphne Locock 3. 3 sticks of rhubarb & leaves Catherine Clayton, Philip Wraight, Muriel Wraight 4.

PROBUS CLUB OF DEANE CELEBRATE 25th BIRTHDAY The Probus Club of Deane celebrated their 25 years of existence at the Annual President’s Dinner in May this year. Formed under the sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Basingstoke Deane the inaugural meeting was held at the White Hart in Overton where both evening and lunchtime meetings were held. For 1998 the venue was changed to the Red Lion and the following year lunchtime meetings were held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at the Basingstoke Golf Club where they continue to this day. Along with the monthly meetings, some of which are attended by wives and partners, there is the Presidents Dinner, Christmas Dinner and Quiz which take place in the evening and one or two day visits to places of interest. Originally starting with 26 members the number has fluctuated throughout the years to again be 26 this year. At the 2017 President’s Dinner the current President, Brian Slater, congratulated the club on this milestone and paid tribute to previous Presidents and those members who were no longer with us. He then cut a cake specially made to commemorate the occasion which was then enjoyed by everyone present.

Past Presidents

The first Probus Clubs were started over 50 years ago and now exist both nationally and internationally to provide fellowship for professional and businessmen who have reached or are approaching retirement. The name “Probus” was adopted after being suggested by a member who took the first three letters from 'PROfessional and BUSiness' and was thought particularly apt as it was a Latin word from which 'probity' is derived. If you would be interested in joining please contact the Secretary, Peter Searle, on 0118 9815354 or email him at peter.searle15@btopenworld.com.

ROTARY ROUNDUP

ROTARY CREATES FUN “SITTING WITH JANE”

TWO COMPETITIONS - FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY

For a bit of fun for all the family, Basingstoke Deane Rotary has created three simple “challenges”. They are based around the “Sitting with Jane” event organised by Destination Basingstoke to celebrate Jane Austen, are simple to take part in, cost nothing to enter, but there are prizes to be won!

SPOT THE BENCH There are 10 beautifully painted “Sitting with Jane” bookbenches sited around the centre of Basingstoke. Rotary has captured photos of a small section of each bench. The challenge is to identify the benches from the photos. All fully correct entries received by 31st August will be entered into a prize draw. For the more adventurous, try to spot the benches sited in the villages.

ROTOPIX17 CALLING ALL JANES Dozens of “Janes” visited the Rotary-sponsored bookbench in Festival Place on Saturday 8th July . The “Janes” were greeted by Rotarians in costume and there was reading aloud from Jane Austen’s famous books. Club President Lindy Richardson said “ There was an amazing turnout of Janes, and a great deal of public interest in the Sitting with Jane project” . And we had a lot of fun throughout the whole day. Thank you for your support , Basingstoke !“

This is a simple photo plus caption competition for all the family. Take a photo, add a caption to make it amusing, and together photo + caption need to fit the theme “Anything related to Jane Austen”. Have fun being creative. Entries by August 31st. There are awards for winners.

Basingstoke Deane Rotary is running these challenges to support the local Ark Cancer Centre Charity. To find out more details about these 2 competitions , and how to take part in each, simply go to our Basingstoke Deane Rotary website :- www.rcbd.org.uk. Have fun with both!

YOU ARE BEING TRACKED – SNAPCHAT!

You may have heard of Snapchat and its new “Snap Map” feature which allows you to track other people’s location in real time. This has raised concerns among safety and privacy advocates; especially from a child safety perspective. With the map feature it’s possible to look at the exact location of your friends and what they are doing. The Bitmoji, a cartoon version of you, is used to show you current activity like sitting down, at the beach, driving a car and more. Snapchat describe the feature as follows. “We’ve built a whole new way to explore the world! See what’s happening, find your friends, and get inspired to go on an adventure!” {SnapChat] The feature came about after Snapchat bought a social mapping company Zenly for $250-$350 and then integrated the technology. But a number of children’s charities have made comment on this addition: “Given how specific this new feature is on Snapchat – giving your location to a precise pinpoint on a map – we would encourage users not to share their location, especially with people they don’t know in person,”[child safety group Childnet International] “Parents need to sit down with their kids and get them to really consider which friends they are sharing with” [ConnectSafely.org.] There’s already growing evidence about increased levels of anxiety in teenagers and this feature could potentially add to the pressure of being seen with the right people or worse, you’ve been left out of a situation. Another potential problem is around domestic violence as the app could be used to track and stalk ex-partners. There’s also opportunity for criminals to get in on the act by working out where you are, or more importantly, where you are not. If they can see you driving around then there’s a good chance your house is empty! This feature raises a couple of questions. Firstly, should this have been an “opt in” feature and secondly, why did Snapchat not make this more obvious when they updated the app? Enable Ghost Mode Fortunately there is a way to opt out and hide your location by enabling ghost mode. Go to Snap Maps by pinching the camera screen. Once there, go to the Settings tab (the cog set top right of the screen) and turn on Ghost Mode. Whist this issue has raised a lot news in the press and promoted by the viral video from Nadia Sawalha (from Loose Women) it also raises the question about other apps tracking you of disclosing your location without permission. As I have written before, the rise of smartphones has also gone hand in hand with the vast volumes of personal data now collected and sold on. It’s without doubt that this feature will be used more by Snapchat to predict your location and hence target adverts because, as people, we are highly predictable. Facebook already knows your sleeping patterns based on usage. In fact it was possible to check your friends sleep patterns due to a way you can access Facebook information through sharing data. Whilst Snap Maps got heavily covered in the popular media, there are plenty of other apps that have the potential to track you without your knowledge. They utilise many techniques but a popular one is to use the WiFi codes that Google knows. When Google started creating maps they built cars that could photograph the street for use with Street View. Whilst they were driving around, they also captured any WiFi codes they could locate and linked them to the GPS location. Obviously, it’s then very easy to identify someone when they log into their own WiFi at home. Without passing any GPS data, Google knows exactly where you are and can also pick up other WiFi codes you may come into contact with and can therefore track your movements. This technology has now been extended into the supermarket. Large retailers (including Marks and Spencer and Morrisons) use a system called WalkBase that uses multiple WiFi stations to triangulate your locations within the store. I don’t have an issue with the technology but I do have an issue with this technology tracking and storing my movements without my consent. Notices should be placed in prominent places enabling you to be fully informed. Throw facial recognition into the equation (which does happen) and you are now fully manipulated into buying certain products you potentially didn’t want or need.
