GRAINGER INSTALLS WORLD’S LONGEST ‘FLAT PACK’ BRIDGE AT BEREWOOD Grainger’s development at Berewood continues to evolve as it now includes the longest bridge of its construction type in the World, which is situated over a section of the River Wallington. The ‘flat pack’ bridge at Berewood was designed by engineers at Queen’s University, Belfast and used a precast concrete system to allow the bridge to be transported quickly and easily before being lifted, where it transformed under gravity into an arch. The bridge spans 16m (53ft) and weighs almost 300 tonnes. It was successfully installed over the river in just a day and a small event will be held for the bridge opening.

The River Wallington itself is currently being ecologically restored as part of Grainger’s new community nature reserves at the Berewood site. The river was previously an overgrown concrete culvert in desperate need of restoration, but it will soon develop into a meandering channel running through one of the 17.5 hectare nature reserves. Although work has now begun on the river, it will be a number of years before the restoration is complete.

Postcode Publications Help to Buy leads to a spacious new home for Laura and Chris at Windmill View

A spacious and modern new home close to the delights of countryside, coast and all local amenities, are the perfect mix - according to Laura Beswarick and Chris Nickson.

The family recently moved into their new four bedroom house at David Wilson Homes’ Windmill View in Clanfield - and they couldn’t be happier.

“We’re both from Hampshire - but were renting a three bedroom cottage in a pretty village close to Bishop’s Waltham,” said Laura. “It was a fantastic location but Chris had a hefty commute to work at Gatwick.

“We wanted to move but kind of got stuck in a rut because we loved the standard of home we were renting and knew we’d need to save a huge deposit if we wanted to buy anything similar. Then we spoke to David Wilson Homes at Windmill View.”

Built against the backdrop of the beautiful South Downs National Park, the development offers an impressive selection of four and five bedroom homes - all available under the Government-funded Help to Buy scheme.

Under Help to Buy, people can own their new home with just a 5 percent deposit and a 20 percent equity loan. It is available on all new-builds in England under £600,000 for first time buyers and those moving up the property ladder.

“Using the scheme meant we could own our new four bedroom Holden home without having to save for a long time,” added Laura. “It is a wonderful place to bring up our family. Everything is pristine and squeaky clean, and the surrounding area is fantastic too - with shops, doctors and schools close by. We can even see the South Downs from our window and the seaside is just down the road.”

Ideally located close to the village centre, Windmill View is a short distance from Petersfield and Waterlooville, with easy access to the A3 and excellent links to London. It is the perfect rural retreat for commuters looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

“Chris’ commute to Gatwick is now so much easier - and we love popping into nearby Petersfield for the market there,” said Laura. “It’s just a fantastic place to live.

We can’t thank the David Wilson Homes team enough for everything they’ve done, from sales to aftercare, the service we’ve had has been great.”

David Wilson Homes sales director Michelle Storer is keen to point out the advantages of Help to Buy for anyone keen to move from a rented home into their own property: “This is an excellent example of how this scheme works so well for those who have become accustomed to a certain standard of home but feel it’s impossible to buy anything similar because of the sheer size of deposit required.

“Help to Buy has certainly worked well for Laura and Chris - and I wish them many happy years in their new home at Windmill View.”

Information about the homes at Windmill View is available from David Wilson Homes on 0844 5710 385, or visit www.dwh.co.uk.

Portsdown & Horndean Light Railway Email received from Ian Page: Interesting picture on page 12 in the July/August edition of PO9 & PO10, it shows Portsdown & Hordean Light Railway (PHLR) Tram number 17 loading at Portsmouth Guildhall on route to Waterlooville/Horndean. Readers may be interested in the history of this vehicle.

Built in 1905 by Brush, it originally ran in Gosport as car 10 transferring to PHLR in 1930 after the Gosport system closed; it was then renumbered 17. It was the only car to have the additional window pillars fitted, and pictures of it are extremely rare.

Car 17 lasted until the end of the system in January 1935.

Finally, readers may not be aware that

two PHLR trams survive. The body of car 5 survives at the Tilford Rural Life Centre Museum where it is used as a shelter. Car 13 is in the care of CPPTD where it is being restored to its 1903 built condition.

Queen’s Inclosure Primary School Summer Fayre Basking in glorious sunshine, Queen’s Inclosure Primary School held its Summer Fayre on Saturday 11th July 2015. Annual favourites such as Hooka-Duck, Jar Tombola and the Coconut Shy featured amongst a record number of private stalls offering a wide selection of quality goods.

Those in need of food or drink had the choice of cream teas, burgers, ice cream, cupcakes, candyfloss or, ever popular, the Pimms tent. The central arena hosted Gemz Dancers, Miss Packham’s singers, Dog Agility and the fantastic Lee Pashley and Lianne King singing a variety of songs. Hits from the movie ‘Frozen’ were particularly popular with younger members of the audience.

As well as an ambulance in case of medical emergency, representatives from our local police force were present, enjoying the proceedings and making quite sure that pocket money was safe!

Smiles were abundant, the sun shone and £2904 was raised to further enhance the school’s outdoor environment. Set in the last remnant of the ancient Forest of Bere, Queen’s Inclosure, celebrating its 25th anniversary, has always benefited from spacious and attractive grounds. The most recent years have seen the addition of a large gazebo, a sun dial, a fully-sheltered outdoor classroom, willow arbours to provide shade during play and earth looms to encourage creativity.

Swain & Co Solicitors Questions and Answers

How can I protect myself and my children from my abusive partner?

If you are in an abusive relationship, the Court can provide you with assistance in the form of a Non-Molestation Order. A Non-Molestation Order is a Court order forbidding a person from using or threatening violence, harassing, pestering and/or intimidating another. This sort of order can also include a

provision not to attend at a particular property or within a certain radius and can be extended to cover any children, if necessary.

Breach of this order is a criminal offence and the police would have the power to arrest the person breaching the terms of the order.

1. What constitutes abuse?

The Courts recognise that there are many different forms of abuse. This can be physical, emotional, verbal even sexual or financial. In essence a person who is made to feel intimidated, belittled and/or controlled on a regular basis is potentially a victim of domestic abuse.

2. How quickly can I obtain a Non-molestation Order?

The Courts are very strict in granting a Non-Molestation Order as they are very restrictive orders. In some situations, it may be necessary for a letter before action to be sent prior to taking Court action.

This would consist of a letter warning the abusive person of their behaviour and making them aware of an intention to apply to the Courts for an order if the behaviour continues.

By Luise Joyse

In some situations however, it is not always appropriate to forewarn an abusive partner and in more severe circumstances, it is possible for an urgent application to be made to the Court on the same day, without giving the abusive person any notice.

3. Is there legal aid for NonMolestation Orders?

Yes. Provided you are eligible on your income and capital, there is legal aid available for this type of order.

We provide a 24 hour helpline service where you can call or text us and we will telephone you back to provide emergency advice. Alternatively, drop in to our 3-5 South Street Office (Havant) to see one of our team. There is no need to make an appointment.

Spirit-of-The-South are in the Pink, and supporting Cancer Research UK

By Sandra Strawn

Along with hundreds of others, men, women, and children, we enjoyed the fund raising event on Saturday 11th of July, at the Mountbatten Sports Centre, Alexandra Rd, Ports on behalf of Cancer Research UK. Our part was to welcome the runners / walkers as they entered the marquee for lunch, having completed their circuits of the course. This was a pleasure for us as we can sing for England, so to speak, and we greeted them with one of our favourite fun warm-up songs "Gee it's Good To See Ya".

The gentle warm-up songs are not only fun, they prepare the vocal chords and the lungs for singing. Breathing is good! This was followed by "Amazing Grace" which was very apt as these survivors are truly

amazing. We think our choice of songs was very fitting, including, "Can You Feel The Love" from the Lion King, and Leanard Coen’s Hallelujah. It was a lovely part of the day. Our Deputy Musical Director was Gillian Rose-Smith, who has a wonderful talent for conducting, while avoiding people, it was so busy. All in all it was a pleasure to support this cause, as we do every year.

Sunday, 19th of July, saw three of our girls, me included, Sandra Strawn, Lucy Van De Ven, and Jackie Stanley, taking part in the 5 k Race For Life at Southsea, also raising money for Cancer Research UK. We had a fantastic brisk walk around the course completing it in 55 minutes. Everything was perfect, sunshine, breeze, good company, and everyone Hi- Fived us which was great. Time well spent.

Postcode Publications much more than just a school

Park Community School news Tanzania Park students and staff were lucky enough to take a life changing trip to Tanzania with the charity Grassroots.We interviewed a member of staff, here is what she had to say: Is it a long term project? Grassroots have been working in Tanzania for over 20 years, and have taken groups from various different schools. This was Park's first trip, but we want to create an ongoing link with Grassroots and Tanzania. What made you decide to do it?

Barney, one of our pastoral workers in the school, and the family leaders came up with the idea in the first place, the intention was to provide pupils with the opportunity to go on an amazing trip, helping others and broadening their horizons. Where did you go and what did you do? We spent most of our time in Mbeya, in the South West of Tanzania, we delivered blankets and food parcels to the poorest families and helped feed children as part of the Grassroots feeding programme. We visited secondary schools, delivered chickens, made and delivered water filters, helped enrol children onto the sponsorship programme and spent the last day on the beach near Dar Es Salaam. How long were you there for? 10 days in total. How many students and staff went? We had four staff plus Sharon, the Grassroots founder, and 13 Year 10 students. My personal quote: Our visit to Tanzania was incredible - a powerful experience. We have all come back with a changed attitude to what matters and to what we really need. I was amazed and inspired by the Tanzanian children we met, but also by our students who embraced every challenge with open minds and worked hard without a single moan. I feel very privileged to have taken part in the trip and hope to go back one day! - Sophie Ryle.

Challenge Week July is when students spend a week out of their comfort zone and experience things that they would not normally face in the usual school day, we call it Challenge Week and here is what happened.

It started with Year 7s using the first two days creating a play for a day, resulting in a performance of the Lion King which was shown to a very appreciative audience of pupils from Riders school. Year 7s were also able to explore different cultures and languages at the end of the week and joined in flamenco and Copoeira lessons.

Housebuilder Visits Park Representatives from national house builders Barratt Homes visited Park to give an assembly to students on the benefits of a career in the construction industry. Barratt Homes staff also worked directly with groups of students on building homes for the 21st Century.

Awards Evening the week with a huge litter picking expedition around the local area on a community scheme to keep their own environment spick and span.

Year 10s definitely say that the driving extravaganza was the best bit of their week. They were given an opportunity to drive a car and learn key driving skills.

They embraced this with enthusiasm and want to do more. They had already learnt about safety features in a car in a crash test science day. They also had a day reflecting on their recent work experience and where they want to be when they leave school.

Year 8 highlights were a day looking at rocket science and shooting off their own rockets, creating their own crystal maze style problems for Year 6 from Riders School to solve and finishing off with making fashion out of trash‌ trashion!!

Recently held in our new theatre, the annual awards evening for outstanding students was attended

by The Mayor of Havant, Councillor Leah Turner and Paralympic medallist, Ian Rose.

Students from each year received a medal, certificate and book voucher. There were also three Headteacher Awards to Jasmine Bone YR7, Piper Willoughby YR8, Fatoumata Ceesay YR9 and the presentation of the Yvonne Weeks Trophy to YR8 student Frankie McMullan.

For many Year 9s the Thursday was their highlight when they went on the hottest day of the week to Staunton Country Park to develop and challenge their orienteering and problem solving skills. They finished

Stronger, More Flexible, Pain-Free Readers … tips and exercises from our Award Winning Physio My name is Natalie March from Physio-logical, a chartered physiotherapist in PO9. I hope you are enjoying the nice weather at the moment.

We have had some lovely testimonials from our clients recently, so thank you.

Here are a few examples; “I have been suffering with sciatica for a couple of weeks before seeing physiological. I have been impressed with the advice and treatment which I have been receiving. I now understand what has happened and what I need to do to stop it from coming back. Would recommend them to anyone” (Derrick, July 2015) “After my total knee replacement; 2 years of home therapy and swimming plus 2 different physio's I finally made an appointment to see Natalie for treatment.

She was very kind understanding. She massaged and mobilisaed my knee and it was slightly sore but after 3 weeks I rode my keep fit bike first time since surgery over 2 years. I am over the moon and recommend this wonderful lady, thanks, one very happy client” (Stephanie, July 2015) I hope you found the last exercises for golfers elbow useful. More and more people are taking part in exercise and physical activity so I have included some “leg

Look after your kidneys this autumn Your kidneys perform a vital function, filtering the blood to remove excess waste from your body and producing urine to remove that waste.

Sometimes, however, the urine becomes saturated with a mineral that it can’t fully dissolve. A kidney stone is formed – and when it causes a blockage it is often described as one of the most painful conditions you can experience.

“Some of my patients describe a pain worse than childbirth,” says Mr Stephen Keoghane, consultant urological surgeon practicing at Spire Portsmouth Hospital.

As many as five to 10 in every 100 people are estimated to be affected by pain related to kidney stones at some point in their lives, a number that is increasing

drastically according to a study published by Mr Keoghane.

There are some simple steps that you can take to reduce the risk of kidney stones.

“Drink enough fluid to produce pale, clear urine,” says Mr Keoghane. “There is a relationship between dehydration and stone formation, so people may be more at risk after periods of hot weather.”

The liquid intake will vary depending on the climate, but in the United Kingdom he recommends an average intake of three to four litres per day.

Another way to look after your kidneys is to eat healthy.

“Avoid too much animal protein (meat), salt and processed sugar.”

Mr Keoghane also recommends a

Another important risk factor is your family history.

If you experience sudden pain in your stomach or have blood in your urine, it might be time to see a specialist.

“If you suffer from kidney

Top 5 tips on how to avoid a cold 1. Keep warm Shivering depresses the immune system, which makes us more likely to catch a cold.

2. Wash your hands Most infections are carried in the air so washing your hands often and drying them on disposable paper towels can reduce the chances of catching a virus.

3. Avoid central heating Central heating can dry out the protective mucous in your nasal passages.

4. Eat zinc and garlic Zinc and garlic are essential to help fight colds and provide a boost to your immune system.

5. Drink plenty of water Dehydration makes your mucus drier and thicker and less able to cope against invading bacteria and viruses.

Advice given by Mr Costa Repanos, Consultant ENT Surgeon practising at Spire Portsmouth Hospital

Ask the Doctor: Knee problems I suffer from persistent pain from arthritis in my knee. Is there anything I can do?

Mr. David Farr, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon practicing at Spire Portsmouth Hospital: My best advice is to keep as active as possible. Try to keep your muscles strong and the joint mobile for as long as possible.

Cycling and swimming are both very good for the knees because they are not load bearing, they stretch the hamstring and keep your knee in line during exercise.

Running on a hard surface can exacerbate knee problems, so try softer ground instead.

Regular exercise can also help to

keep you generally fit and healthy.

The knee is particularly susceptible to an increase in weight. Did you know that seven times your body weight passes through the back of your kneecap when you climb stairs or run? So, if you can lose a stone in bodyweight, you actually reduce the force on your knee by seven stone!

If you find that pain is interfering with your day to day life and is affecting your quality of life to a point where it isn’t acceptable to you anymore, you should seek the advice of a medical professional.

Cantemus Choir’s Summer Concert

Alan Mak MP Report on my work locally and in Westminster Havant MP Alan Mak reports back on his work locally and in Westminster I hope PO newspaper readers managed to have a break over summer.

For me, the Parliamentary recess was an opportunity to spend time at home in Havant, focus on local work without the distraction of Westminster, and reflect on the highlights from the last few months.

My Maiden Speech in the House of Commons came during the EU Referendum debate, where I was proud to talk up local successes, from Havant’s ambitious regenerations plans and Emsworth’s food festival to Hayling’s rural charm and Leigh Park’s community spirit. I’ve had some excellent Ministerial meetings to discuss local issues too, including with the Defence Secretary; the Rail Minister; the Education Secretary; and the Planning Minister.

I made my début at Prime Minister’s Questions – the most high-profile Westminster event – where I welcomed the 48% drop in local unemployment since 2010, and welcomed the Summer Budget which cuts taxes for working people, clamped down on welfare abuse, kept fuel duty frozen, and introduced a new £9 Living Wage.

Another highlight was being selected for the prestigious Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme which enables a small group of MPs to spend a year gaining “work experience” with one of our Services, in my case the Royal Navy. I will keep readers posted about my experiences over the next 12 months working with our Navy personnel. I will also be serving on the Commons committee examining English Votes for English Laws, and I’ve been elected to chair Parliament’s all-party group for entrepreneurship, backing new and growing businesses.

Locally, I’ve enjoyed engaging with some of the schools, businesses and community groups that bring our area to life. From presenting certificates at Purbrook and Mengham Junior Schools to listening to pupils sing at Mill Rythe school and answering questions at Fairfield Infants; our local schools are doing very well.

I‘ve also launched the Havant Education Leaders Forum (HELF) to bring together all our local secondary headteachers to share ideas and continue raising education standards.

A growing local economy with more jobs is vital, and I met with Havant Borough Council to discuss the ambitious growth plans at Market Parade and Dunsbury Hill Farm which will create many new local jobs. Treasury Chief Secretary Greg Hands MP (Chancellor George Osborne’s deputy) also accepted my invitation to meet a group of local business leaders at Havant Rugby Club, and he praised them for the contribution they make, including to local charities; for example, I enjoyed presenting the prizes at the Langstone Raft Race organised by the Ship Inn. Similarly, Northney Farm hosted this year’s Hayling Businessmen’s Club summer BBQ, whilst I enjoyed welcoming back our Paris to Hayling Cycle Riders at the Olive Leaf pub. All these groups and businesses reflect the strength of our community spirit.

Thank you to local residents for the support you continue to give me, and I will continue working hard for you locally and in Westminster.

If you would like to me to attend a community event, or need some help, please contact me.

Cantemus Choir gave their summer concert at St James’s Church, Emsworth, on Saturday June 27th. The concert was billed as “English music for a summer evening” and featured the music of English composers from the 13th to 20th centuries. Musical Director William Waine conducted, sporting a bow tie in the red cross on white design of the English flag. Christopher Pilgrim accompanied the choir on the piano, with solos by baritone Daniel Tate.

The programme was grouped in sections beginning with the end of winter, including the ancient round “Summer is a-coming in”, moving through springtime, with rounds and songs by Byrd, Hilton and Henry VIII, depicting mirth and play, to mystical midsummer, represented by Vaughan Williams’ folk song “Linden Lea” and his “Five Mystical Songs”, and ending with the calm contentment of Pilkington’s “Rest Sweet Nymphs”, Stanford’s “Heraclitus” and Sullivan’s “The Long Day Closes”.

Along the way there were Gilbert and Sullivan songs from The Grand Duke, The

Yeoman of the Guard and the Pirates of Penzance, in which soprano Janet Hillman from the choir joined the baritone soloist in a duet. Many songs featured birds, such as the contrasting pieces by Stanford – “The Bluebird” (with its sublime soaring soprano line) - “The Blackbird” by the Beatles, and a setting of “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square”, arranged by the conductor.

The concert was considerably enhanced by the rich baritone voice of soloist Daniel Tate, whose performance in the Vaughan Williams especially showed he was equally at home in loud and soft passages.

One of the highlights of the evening was a piano duet in which conductor William Waine and accompanist Christopher Pilgrim played a rousing version of Percy Grainger’s “Country Gardens” from which the concert’s title “In an English Country Garden” was taken.

Cantemus Choir welcomes new members in all voice parts, especially tenors. For more information, contact the choir secretary: 023 9246 3531 email: cantemushavant@gmail.com website: www.cantemushavant.moonfruit.com

Food and Wine Chilled Reds Jonathan Rogers of The Solent Wine Experience looks at Red Wines to Chill When the weather is warm and sunny there is nothing better than a chilled glass of dry, crisp refreshing white wine or a soft fruity rose full of summer fruit flavours.

Sitting out in the garden with the sausages sizzling away on the BBQ sipping these wines is my idea of a perfect summer’s day.

But what if you don’t fancy these typical summer wines? What if you fancy something different, away from the norm?

Historically we were always told to drink red wines at room temperature, certainly not from the fridge. However, chilling reds can be a great alternative to the normal summer wines and some can certainly be just as refreshing. I always tell people drink wine however they want to. It’s all about enjoying the wine so you do whatever you want and I remember back in 2003 I was on a buying trip in the Languedoc Roussillon region in the south of France and that particular year was extremely hot. Every time we went to a restaurant, the reds came out chilled.

The best reds to chill are the light fruity styles. Full bodied reds can work but is better if they have a certain amount of fruit balanced with them. Drier, tannic reds don’t tend to be as good. Don’t over chill any wine as that will diminish the flavour, and try not to put ice in the wine as that will simply water it down.

The best red wines to chill are from the Pinot Noir grape. These wines tend to be softer and fruitier and lighter on the palate.

The grape is very delicate and thin skinned so you don’t get a huge amount of colour extraction and therefore they don’t have as much tannin. The regions that grow some of

the best Pinot Noir are Burgundy in France, Chile grows amazing fruit driven wines especially from the Bio Bio (so good they named it twice!) region in the very south of the country, and Otago on the south Island in New Zealand has great complex Pinot’s with character. We are also growing great Pinot Noir here in the UK although most of it is going into our amazing sparkling wines.

Other grapes that work well for chilling are Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. These are the dominant grapes grown in the Languedoc along with Spain who also grow a huge amount of Grenache.

With only a few more weeks of proper summer left and the promise of August being hot, it’s worth experimenting with some reds to chill and experience something different.

Here’s a few to get you started: Otiake Estate Pinot Noir 2011 New Zealand - £9.99 The Solent Wine Experience Un-filtered to retain is full quality, its rounded with loads of red berry fruit.

Castillo de Eneriz Navarra Graciano Garnacha 2013 Navarra Spain £11.99 Virgin Wines Soft and rounded with hints of stewed fruit.

Chateau de Jau Cotes de Roussillon Villages 2011 £6.50 Tesco A mix of the varieties mentioned in my article, it has hints of black cherries and a slightly spicy character on the finish. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Food Fiend Experience Recipe column - by Kathy Fitchett

Photography by the Paul Burrows Studios, Havant

The Spanish Frittata is a versatile, healthy, tasty, low fat dish which is easy to make and can be eaten hot or cold.You can use a variety of vegetables but in this recipe I have chosen sliced peppers, onions, spinach and Charlotte potato. It’s important to use a waxy potato which retains its shape and consistency after cooking and doesn’t breakdown. Salad potatoes with or without skins are great for this.

You can substitute sweet potato in place of the salad potatoes and use any vegetable which takes your fancy- peas and beans will need to be blanched before adding to the egg mixture. To reduce the amount of fat I have used grated Parmesan but you can add some grated cheddar into the egg mixture as well if desired.

This is a great dish which can be enjoyed for lunch or a light supper served with salad.

Better still cut it into slices as a starter for a dinner party!

1. Slice potato thinly, drizzle with olive oil and cook in microwave for 6 minutes

2. Cook onion and potato and sliced peppers

Ingredients 4 eggs 1 pack spinach ½ red pepper 1 large onion 250 grams waxy potato Handful of parsley and chives 2 cloves garlic 3/4 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese Method: 1. Cook spinach in the microwave in a glass dish for 3 minutes, squeeze out excess water from leaves 2. Wash potatoes and use food processor with slicing tool to slice or if doing by hand try to make slices uniform and less than 0.5 cm thick. Place on plate and drizzle with olive oil and cook in microwave for 6 minutes. Turning half way through to ensure even cooking 3. Thinly slice pepper and onion and chop garlic 4. Roughly chop parsley and chives 5. Heat 22 cm non-stick frying pan with 2 tablespoon olive oil add onion. Cook for 5 minutes then add sliced pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add cooked sliced potato and chopped garlic and cook for further 3 minutes. Remove from the heat 6. Break eggs into bowl and beat well.

Season with pepper and salt. Stir in chopped herbs and then add cooked potatoes and vegetables 7. Heat frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil, use silicone brush to ensure oil is spread over base and sides of the pan 8. Pour egg mixture with vegetables into pan and spread evenly in pan. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top of the mixture. Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes 9. Heat grill and place pan with egg and vegetable under this and cook until golden brown- minimum 5 minutes 10. Carefully lift Frittata with a spatula onto plate (or invert onto plate if feeling brave!) and serve with a side salad.

AUCTIONEER & ANTIQUES ENTHUSIAST HILARY BOLT on COLLECTABLE CARN POTTERY Over the last 20 years I’ve been lucky enough to turn a life-long interest in “old things” into my current day jobs – auctioneering in Emsworth Auctions and running an antiques & collectables shop, Emsworth Antiques Etc. in the town’s West Street.

I promised to tell you a bit more about the work of rising star of Carn Pottery ‘collectables’ which we stock in the shop; in particular the Owls & Pussy Cats.

Most of John Beusman’s work is designed to be used : vases, containers or lamps. Whilst both owls and cats appear as decorative motifs on various sized pots and vases (plate 1), the earliest design, code 1 belonged to a range of small, solid owls he produced up until the early 70s (plate 2). Standing only a couple of inches high, they are too small to be stamped or signed so recognition rests on experience.

Aged about 16 John produced these small owls in a variety of glazes and colours, taking the idea from an established potter friend. I have an example of one such scarce non-Carn owl in my own collection as well as a number of John’s.

However, one of the most charming Carn Pottery figures is Mowser (plate 3), the heroine of the Cornish ‘Mousehole Cat’ legend. She has a fish with her because – thanks to her skill and loyalty – her pet fisherman Tom managed to survive a terrifying storm at sea and brought home such a phenomenal catch that he saved his fellow Mousehole folk from ruin and starvation. So in gratitude for her valiant work Mowser always has a fish for her supper.

Thus the tradition and landscape of Cornwall continue to feature in John Beusman’s work, which is still developing – new shapes, motifs and glazes. I wonder what he will do next?

WATERLOOVILLE BOOK Steve Jones, the local historian of the Havant area as produced a new booklet edited by Ralph Cousins called 'The Early Years of Waterlooville 1810-1910 and the History of the Forest of Bere'.

The ninety-page A4 special edition celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

Steve tells of the turnpike road from Portsmouth to Sheet and that it took between nine and ten hours to travel from Portsmouth to London on the stage along roads that were not exactly the most comfortable.

The Forest of Bere at that time covered most of east Hampshire. In 1800 the forest measured 16,000 acres with 10,000 acres of open forest.

When the Forestry Commission took over in 1919 there was only 1,450 acres of

Plate 1

Plate 3

Plate 2

By Bob Hind

woodland but since then through purchase and leasing now consists of 3,500 acres.

The Heroes of Waterloo public house has the legend that it was named after soldiers who rested there on their way home from the famous battle.

Steve tells us it the legend is somewhat fanciful and that the pub is most probable named after the battle itself.

The present pub is not the original it being a few yards further west.

The book tells of the long history of St George's Church in the town centre and also of the many traders, pubs, hotels, characters and other legends that have grown over the years.

With over fifty photographs and a few maps the book is excellent value at just £6.

It is available from Waterlooville library and Havant Museum.

The Hayling College’s Glee club and a selection of other pupils are very excited to announce that they are set to go to Ypres in November.

All the children who were going to Belgium were deeply disappointed with the French dock workers and their ferry strike. This stopped the children from being able to get to Ypres and so the Hayling College postponed the trip.

Amazingly the teachers arranged all children involved in the Belgium trip to meet HRH Prince Charles himself.

This was an amazing opportunity for all the pupils involved and one we will remember forever.

Postcode Publications RYA Sailing Development Manager gains first-hand experience of HISC’s Get Racing Club

Hannah Cockle, the RYA’s Sailing Development Manager joined the HISC Get Racing Club to experience first-hand the ‘club within a club’ that aims to encourage non-racers to get out on the water with volunteer led coaching and fun, informal racing.

The HISC International Moth Class led the first Get Racing Club in May with Ricky Tagg heading up the team, ably assisted by Graham Simmonds, Ollie Holden, Tim Penfold and Mike Lennon. Special guest Hannah Cockle, the RYA’s Sailing Development Manager joined the group, trapezing on board a Laser 2 with Get Racing Club member Tony Combes.

Hannah commented, “Everyone was so helpful on the water and I really enjoyed myself. I will certainly come along again!”

The popular Merlin Rocket Class led the second of the May HISC Get Racing events. For many of the HISC Get Racing Club participants it was the windiest conditions they had experienced and with only a few capsizes it was clear that skill levels have improved.

The next Get Racing Club event will take place on Saturday 27th June 2015 with the RS 200 class taking the helm. For more information about the Get Racing Club initiative please visit http://www.hisc.co.uk/sailing-racing/clubracing/hisc-get-racing-club/ or the Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/groups/HISC.GRC/ The GRC dates for the season are: 22nd August 2015, 5th & 19th September, 3rd October 2015

Trans-Gendered Show for Havant Youth Theatre The swansong for this year’s departing senior members of Dynamo Youth Theatre is a rollicking, all-female, fast-paced version of Shakespeare’s evergreen comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The September show traditionally showcases the talents of the departing sixth formers and is their final performance before they leave for university, work or apprenticeships.

Unusually this year, all the seniors are girls and they are relishing the opportunity to get to grips with a multiplicity of roles, most of them male.

The members, from Havant, Hayling, Bedhampton and Langstone, will play fairies, aristocrats and ‘rude mechanicals’, the most famous of which is Bottom the weaver, who has an ass’s head bestowed upon him.

Bottom is the unlikely recipient of the Fairy Queen’s affections, but survives his brush with the supernatural to perform at the Duke of Athens’ wedding.

The play is adapted and directed by local award-winning

writer Lucy Flannery.

Dynamo Youth Theatre accepts applications for membership from 11-18 year olds and meets every Monday during term time between 5.30 and 7.30pm.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is at The Spring, Wednesday 2 – Saturday 5 September at 7.30pm. Tickets £9/£7 BOGOF Wednesday. Box Office 023 9247 5340 www.thespring.co.uk

HIADS presents ‘The Salt of the Earth’ by John Godber at the Station Theatre on Hayling Island from Friday 2nd to Friday 9th October.

Tickets are £8 and available on 023 9246 6363 or online at www.stationtheatre.co.uk.

This richly humorous and moving play is set in the West Yorkshire coalfields spanning three generations from 1947 to 1988. It captures the ambitions, joys, fears and disappointments of sisters Annie and May Parker.

It is also a ‘coming-of-age story’ for May’s academic son Paul, but told with a wider perception than just that of the young man who breaks away from his working class background.

We first see May and her sister Annie as giddy young women who marry Harry and Roy two strapping young men who work in the pits.

Their lives progress through the years not in the way they would have expected or necessarily wanted and it is thrown into stark relief by May’s son Paul’s growing success.

Despite his college education and penchant for writing Paul cannot quite let go of his working-class background. He tries to retain a connection to Tosh, his best friend, who now works in the coal pits; and when he sees Kay, his old girlfriend, he longs for her all over again.

Paul's final break with May and Harry could be seen as a young man's escape from his ignorant, bitter parents but Godber has shared the experiences of this family and shown the parents in the context of their lives together. He weaves a rich tapestry of family life in this play.

In these days when there is much negative press given to young people, Matt King and Stephen Smith proved the naysayers wrong when they added joy and many a toe tap to the humdrum task of shopping in Waterlooville on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Blasting out Jazz tunes from their favourite composer, Gordon Goodwin, on their alto saxophones the happy duo played their way through some familiar and not so familiar numbers.

Stephen said “on a good day we can make between £15 and £20”, but it is obvious that these two jazz enthusiasts do it for

love and the money is a bonus. The audience were few in number but the boys received plenty of coins as cheerful passers by commented on the joy they were bringing to the shoppers’ day, moreover a local woman said that is was lovely to see young people enjoying themselves whilst show- casing talent. On occasion buskers can appear to have a hard time with people scurrying by and generally ignoring them, but this duet of aspiring musicians had their talent, the weather and youth on their side.

Keep on jamming boys!

Spinnaker Chorus (Portsmouth) is a barbershop choir of 70 plus women, of all ages, who sing a cappella style, in 4 part harmony.

On Saturday 13th June we took part in The Bournemouth Choral Music Festival at the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth. We entered in two categories this year.

Firstly 'Songs from the Shows' in which we sang 'Defying Gravity' from 'Wicked' and secondly 'It's Raining Men' featured in Broadway's 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' For this category we wore black tunics and trousers with lots of sparkling jewellery. We were delighted to come first and received a wonderful trophy.

The second category we entered was for 'Barbershop'. Once again we sang two songs, 'How Deep is the Ocean' and 'The Moment I Saw Your Eyes' and we were awarded joint second place.

Our costumes for this category were black tunic and trousers with the addition of our brightly coloured, shimmering boleros, adorned with sparkling, jewelled

epaulettes. These were designed by our fabulous wardrobe lady, Gillian Wood and all the jewels were hand sewn by herself and a number of nimble fingered helpers from the chorus.

This year we also had two quartets, made up of members of our chorus, competing in the 'Small Ensemble' category.

'Eclipse' and 'Waves' were awarded joint 4th place, a wonderful result considering this was a debut performance for the newly formed 'Waves'.

We certainly had a most fabulous time in Bournemouth, filled with wonderful memories and we are looking forward to next year’s competition already.

REGISTRATION OPENS FOR THE ROWANS HOSPICE RUBY RIDE The Rowans Hospice is delighted to be holding the fourth Ruby Ride around Portsmouth, Purbrook and Petersfield on Sunday 20th September. Registration for this popular cycle event opened on at the end of June with a launch at the Hospice in Purbrook.

With a choice of three great routes of 18, 30 or 65 miles, the event appeals to leisure cyclists as well as the more competitive cyclist. Participants are encouraged to raise sponsorship as all monies raised go towards providing hospice care in Portsmouth and South East Hampshire. The Ruby Ride has raised £160,000 over the last three years.

Helping to launch The Ruby Ride are event partners Bicycle Recycling, Dirt2Road and SERV Bikers with cakes and refreshments provided courtesy of the Coop in Denmead.

Karen Kay, Events Fundraiser at The Rowans Hospice, said: “The Ruby Ride is now an established event for cyclists of all

abilities with those completing the 18-mile ‘Leisure’ route coming back the next year to try the 30-mile ‘Challenge’ route, and the 30-milers going for the 65-mile ‘Epic’ route.

We are encouraging everyone, even if you haven’t been on a bicycle for years, to come and take part.

“All three routes start and finish at Lakeside, North Harbour. It’s not a race and there are refreshment stops en-route for all cyclists which makes it a very enjoyable event. Everyone taking part receives a Tshirt to wear on the day and medal when they cross the finishing line. We ask all participants to try and raise £100 in sponsorship but every £1 matters and will make a difference.”

Online registration will be available via the website www.rowanshospice.co.uk after the official launch. Registration forms will also be available from all of The Rowans Hospice charity shops.

By Reg Moule

WHEN YOU WANT TO GET YOUR GREEN TOMATOES TURNED ON – JUST UNZIP A BANANA!

REG’S SEPTEMBER GARDENING TIPS EARLY IN THE MONTH This is a good time to move established evergreen shrubs, and the traditional time to start planting new trees and shrubs of all kinds.

As the summer bedding plants begin to fade replace them with cheerful autumn bedding varieties to brighten up the dull winter days ahead. We have a superb selection available in our planteria.

Make-up winter hanging baskets using pansies, bright evergreens and winter flowering heathers.

Prepared hyacinths should be planted and put in a cool, dark place by the end of this month if you want them in bloom by Christmas.

Watch out for aphid attacks on winter flowering pansies. The colonies live deep among the central rosette of leaves, causing the plants to wilt.

MID – MONTH. • Sow some hardy annuals outdoors in flowering positions in sheltered spots.

• Now is the time to get busy with planting spring flowering bulbs and we have a comprehensive range on display. If you like to prioritise your buying, the things to go for now are autumn flowering crocus, Madonna lilies, Colchicums, Fritillarias and

prepared hyacinths. It is a good plan to plant Daffodils. and Narcissi early too.

Scarify the lawn to remove “thatch” and feed with Autumn lawn dressing.

This is a good time to sow or turf a new lawn and repair bare patches.

Grease band the trunks of fruit trees to trap the wingless female Winter moths as they climb them to lay eggs.

Strawberries should be planted by the end of this month for cropping next year.

Plant garlic now in a sunny free draining spot.

They like a long growing season in order to make the best cloves.

Sow some autumn lettuce under cloches or for planting in a cold greenhouse.

Plant out spring cabbage plants 15cm (6in) apart in rows 30cm (1ft) apart If your lawn is infested with leather-jackets or chafer grubs control them using natural biological pest control agents.

Sow green manure crops on vacant areas of the veg. garden for digging in next spring.

Plant Japanese onion sets to get a lovely crop of flavoursome onions ready from June.

Spray Michaelmas daisies with a fungicide to prevent mildew before flowering.

LATER IN THE MONTH • Lift beetroot, carrots, turnips and potatoes for winter use. Leave parsnips and swedes in the ground to develop more flavour.

STANSTED PARK GARDEN CENTRE PART OF THE HOME & GARDEN GROUP

• Sow some compact hardy annuals in a cold greenhouse to grow into winter flowering pot plants.

• Pick green tomatoes for chutney or ripening in a brown paper bag in a drawer indoors.

• Reduce watering and ventilation in the greenhouse as temperatures drop.

• Lift, divide and re-plant early spring flowering herbaceous perennials.

• Bring in any tender shrubby plants taken outside for summer displays e.g. Brugmansia.

• Cut back marginal plants and net your pond to keep out autumn leaves.

• Bring in tender floating pond plants, like water chestnut and water hyacinth before frost.

• Dry some herb foliage for winter use, or chop and freeze them in ice cubes.

• Prune summer fruiting raspberries by removing old, fruited canes.

• Take cuttings from roses, preferably using shoots that have flowered. Trim them to

23cm (9in) long.

• Increase ventilation for indoor grapes to reduce fungal attack.

• Treat sheds, fences etc. with a good wood preserver.

• Bring in any house-plants that have been outside “on holiday” for the summer.

Most gardeners have a go at growing tomatoes and as the season comes to an end there are always lots of green fruit left on the plants. So what do you do with them, after all there is only so much green tomato chutney that you can possibly consume over the next twelve

months?

Well you certainly don’t put them in a sunny windowsill as that dries them out rather than ripening them. It is much better to put the green fruit in brown paper bags and place them in a drawer to gradually ripen up, but this can take time.

In order to accelerate the ripening process, place about 4 fruits in a paper, or polythene, bag and get a nice ripe banana.

You can eat the banana – it’s the skin that you want.

All you do is pop the skin in the bag with the tomatoes and leave them alone for a few days. The ethylene gas produced by the banana skin will soon turn the tomatoes on – making them ripen up and become an appetising red colour.

Swimmers bus to training camp A generous donation from the Emsworth and District Coach Hire company allowed 34 swimmers from the Havant and Waterlooville Swim Club to travel together in comfort to their crucial Crystal Palace Training Camp in April.

Thanks to a deal set up by Emsworth and District and PO9 & PO11 the transport was provided on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April to take the young swimmers aged between 9 and 17 to the prestigious Crystal Palace long course training facility.

PAGE: 22

The training camp is a critical part of the youngsters training regime. It conditions them for marked calendar events, such as National Championships. It also works as part of their long term development training for other long distance events.

The swimmers completed more than 10k each day in the long course pool. When they were not swimming they were exercising with hundreds of sit ups and press-ups in the gym. The idea is to promote fast swimming and for some,

An undefeated pre-season so far and some crucial new signings have provided great optimism for the Hawks in the forthcoming new season. Some impressive signings especially upfront have bolstered an already impressive squad, including two strikers from the football league - Marvin Morgan (Plymouth Argyle) and James Hayter (Yeovil), as well as Matt Paterson who scored 26 times for Gosport last season. Thirty six year old Hayter played for Bournemouth, Doncaster Rovers and Yeovil respectively and in May 2007, Doncaster paid a club record transfer fee of £200,000 to sign him. Also from Gosport the Hawks have strengthened their defensive options with the capture of centre back Lee Molyneaux. Like Paterson, Molyneaux was a key part of their battle with Havant for a place in last seasons play offs. Josh Huggins, Perry Ryan and Ben Wright have all departed the club over the summer to make way for the new signings.

On the pitch a varying level of opposition has allowed Lee Bradbury to mix things up with his players old and new, as well as build up match fitness. So far in six friendlies new signings Adrian Clifton and Matt Paterson as well as last seasons top scorer Scott Donnelly have hit 3 goals a piece. James Hayter has also made a goalscoring start with 2 goals and youth product Jack Gayle has also found the net.

Away from home Hawks came through the first two friendlies comfortably winning 2-1 against Horndean and 2-0 versus Swindon Supermarine, the third was a high scoring 3-3 draw with Portchester.

The two home friendlies against higher level opponents Portsmouth and Eastleigh also saw positive results. Against Pompey the Hawks took the lead when Adrian Clifton rose highest to head home a Ben Swallows curling freekick.

After many changes in the second half for both sides, Portsmouth who settled quickest and soon equalised through Mike Doyles deflected shot. Pompey looked more likely to grab a winner but gritty defending and some fine goalkeeping from Ryan Young allowed the Hawks to attain an impressive draw.

This was followed up a week later with a fine win against Vanarama National’s Eastleigh, with two goals from Scott Donnelly separating the teams. Donnelly’s second goal was particularly spectacular scoring from within his own half. A further 2-0 win at the Westleigh was seen against Wessex League champions Petersfield Town. This leaves the Hawks with games against Ryman Premier League Bognor Regis (29/07) and Conference National Dover Athletic (01/08) before starting their Vanarama National League South campaign away against Bishops Stortford.

hopefully, winning medals at several coming events. It also gives swimmers the opportunity to train in different waters, and in a long course pool, to see where they are on key qualifying and medalling times.

Crystal Palace has always provided support for the training camps which are second to none. The Club constantly relies on donations of time, facilities and funding from local businesses. This is not the first time Emsworth and District has donated the use of a bus to the Swim Club. The swimmers and parents are extremely grateful. Without these donated transport facilities, the cost of travel would have needed to be covered from the Club’s limited funds, or by parents.

The Club swimmers continue to train hard

Tim Randall’s Sports Round-up Tennis Warblington’s Avenue Lawn Tennis Squash and Fitness Club, is having a busy summer. It held a prestigious Grade 4 ITF Seniors Tennis tournament in June and the Aegon Summer County Cup Week in July.

Veteran tennis players from home and abroad competed in the Seniors tournament, sponsored by KKM Deliveries of Portsmouth. The veterans exulted the excellent grass courts and the warm welcome and hospitality of the Club members and staff. The Avenue Club’s Ian and Pauline Udal won in the Over-45 mixed doubles, beating tournament organiser Neil Crawford and Heather Halliday in straight sets. Ian Udal completed a hat-trick of wins, taking the Over-45 men’s doubles title with Martin Wilkinson from Warsash and beating the Avenue’s Richard Steeds in the Over 45 singles final. Also in the Over-45 section, the Ladies doubles final featured Club coach Tracy Manvell and former Avenue member and Hampshire county captain Sue Espley. They lost a superb match to Linda Jones and Anita Pearce from Ventnor, Isle of Wight. The full results are available on:

World series event, as qualification began for right to face holders America in the 35th America’s Cup. Racing off Southsea sea front had been scheduled for Saturday and Sunday 25 & 26 July. However, high winds put a stop to racing on the Sunday.

The Land Rover BAR team, led by Sir Ben Ainslie, had a first and second place in the two spectacular races held on the Saturday in front of a crowd of over 70,000. In the event they were declared the winners of the first Americas Cup World Series qualifiers event. The Series moves on to Sweden for the next stage in the 2015 Louis Vetton series. The event will return to Portsmouth in 2016 and hopefully will enjoy better weather.

The visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge brightened up an otherwise disappointing final day of the Regatta. The Royal couple joined the Land Rover BAR team’s champagne celebrations to mark their victory.

http://www.avenueltsc.co.uk/seniorstournament.html

The week 20 – 24 July saw the Avenue Club host the second division games of the Aegon Summer County Cup. County week is a UK wide doubles tennis competition for men aged 18 – 30. They compete for their Counties in several divisions at various venues. Two Counties are promoted and two relegated from each Division. Division Two matches are played annually at the Avenue Club. Being the second division, the standard of tennis is high. The week was rain affected and despite tinkering with the format as the week progressed, the tournament ended early when torrential rain prevented any play on the final day. Essex were promoted on winning Division 2, while at the other end Cambridgeshire took the wooden spoon and relegation to Division 3.

Hampshire & IoW finished in mid table.

Cycling – Tour de France For the second time in three years British cyclist Chris Froome took the Yellow Jersey in the Tour de France in Paris on 26 July. Five years ago there had never been a British winner of the Tour. Now we have won it three times – Sir Bradley Wiggins 2012, Chris Froome 2013 and 2015. As a Nation we have come a long way since our first attempt in the 1955 Tour. Back then only two of the starters in the British Hercules team made the finish, including

Havant Cyclist Touring Club

Dawn is a special time of day, and a bike ride at dawn is a special sort of adventure. Every year, around the longest day, Portsmouth and Havant CTC set out from the Spring Centre at 5am on the Bob Kemp Memorial Ride. The ride commemorates Bob Kemp, a former member of the club. Bob loved early morning cycling on quiet roads with a chorus of birdsong. The BKM offers riders the opportunity to do 100 miles in a day, and still be home in time for tea.

This year's ride on 13 June took us to Salisbury. Our second breakfast at 9:30 was in the Kings Head Inn beside the River Avon. A delightful riverside bike path led us to the ancient hill fort and former rotten borough of Old Sarum. We turned East along quiet lanes to lunch at Stockbridge beside the River Test. The river led us South, then East through Kings Somborne and the Farley Mount Country Park to Winchester. A tea stop was taken at the Ship Inn in Owslebury. Returning to Havant involved typical Hampshire ridge riding along Wheely Down and Old Winchester Hill. Riding in a group is a good social event. It provides practical and moral support with any mechanical problems; which was some comfort to one rider unlucky enough to have three punctures during the day! On a fine day in

lovely countryside the repairs provided opportunities for a chat and impromptu picnic, and nobody was left behind. At 113 miles the ride was a full value century and a great day out.

You can find out details about the CTC’s activities at http://www.portsmouthctc.org.uk .

There are so many different types of bicycles these days, so I asked Havant CTC’s Mike Skiffins about the kind of bicycles potential new members would need to join the Club’s rides. Mike said ‘There is no such thing as a ‘proper’ bike that you need to take part in our rides. All we expect is that it should be legal and roadworthy for your own safety and the safety of those riding with you. We see a variety of cycles on our rides: bikes with dropped handlebars; bikes with straight bars; ‘hybrid’ bikes; bikes with suspension; tandems; tricycles; tandem trikes; recumbents; folding bikes; bikes with electric motors. So you see, nobody is excluded because their bike doesn’t fit in.’

‘Anyone who turns up is welcome to ask for advice and most riders are happy to share their knowledge or point you at someone who can help.’

Hopefully these comments from Mike will encourage any readers thinking of having go on their bicycles.

Emsworth’s legendary Tony Hoar. (See report in our March– April 2015 editions) Talking to the BBC about the abuse meted out to Froome and the thinly-veiled doping accusations during the tour, Sir David Brailsford, the Australian General Manager of Team Sky explained the real reasons behind Team Sky’s success. He said “We recognised some time ago that there is a science for success in elite sport.

It has been studied by sports scientists. We studied what the experts had said. We put it into practice and it works.”

Havant Parkrun

Parkrun uk organises free, weekly, 5km timed runs around the world. Park runs are free, open to everyone and are safe and easy to take part in.

These events take place in pleasant parkland surroundings and encourage people of every ability to take part; from those taking their first steps in running to Olympians; from juniors to those with more years or experience; all are welcome Parkrun aims to have an event in every community that wants one, wherever they are. There is already a Havant parkrun. It takes place weekly and it is free. Havant parkrun is a 5km run - it's you against the clock. When is it? It is every Saturday at 9:00am. Where is it? It's run in Staunton Country Park, Middle Park Way, Havant, PO9 5HB. See Course Page for more details.

It costs nothing to join in; it's free! But you must register before your first run. You only register with Parkrun once. You can register at: www.parkrun.org.uk/havant After that you can join a park run anywhere you wish.

I spoke to Richard Acton who has been an active parkrunner with the Havant parkrun group for more than two years. I asked Richard how he felt about Parkrun.

Here is what he said: “Parkrun is addictive. Once you’ve been and given it a try you definitely cannot wait until the next one. It’s a great way to keep fit. You make new friends and it really does not matter if you are fast or slow. I have done nearly 120 runs since the start of 2013, mostly at Havant. But now I also run at Southsea, Chichester and occasionally Bognor. I love the fact that it is so easy and you get a record of the time of all your runs, wherever they take place”’

Parkrunners in action

I asked Richard about the volunteering side. He said: “Volunteering is very important to parkrun. As a volunteer, it also gives you a great buzz. Encouraging people as they run past, you find most are really appreciative of the support. I think Parkrun gives you a positive start to the weekend, even if you don’t beat your PB (personal best)!”

When you first register you are given a personal barcode. You must then remember to take a copy of your barcode with you whenever you do a parkrun. To ensure you do not forget to take it you can even request a reminder! Should you forget it, you won't get a time! The barcode is used to record for you, each of your run times.

People thinking of joining in often ask “How fast do I have to be?” The answer is that the runs are for your own enjoyment and your personal goals. You can just go along and join in - whatever your pace! You can see a google map of the Havant park run course at Stauntan Park on www.parkrun.or.uk/havant Havant parkrun is entirely organised by volunteers - email: havanthelpers@parkrun.com if you are interested in helping on that basis.

The Havant parkrunners are friendly.

Readers interested in the idea are invited to join them on any Saturday for a post run coffee at the café in Staunton Country Park.

Beyond writing on sports, I specialise in this area of elite sport having studied it at Brighton University. It is a relatively new branch of sports science but sadly is largely ignored in the UK. Elsewhere however the science is successfully applied in many sports. Anyone interested in discovering more about the studies into elite sport and the methods of putting them into practice for teams and individuals are welcome to get in touch at: t.randall@postcodepublications.com

On the back of the success of the England Women's team in the recent Women’s World Cup in Canada, Hayling St. Andrew's FC has been quick to draw attention to its brand new Girl's football coaching sessions. The girl’s sessions started a few weeks ago. They are held in Mengham Park, Selsmore Lane, Hayling Island. The girls train on Thursdays from 6 7:30pm (during the summer) and on Saturdays throughout the year from 9:30 11.00am.

With the launch of the the girls sessions, they are currently being coached

by Portsmouth FC Ladies U13 UEFA B licenced coach Ben Johnson. At this early stage the girls are having fun and enjoying the chance to develop football skills.

Already the Club has 15 boys and girls aged 5 - 7 in its existing junior division which is linked to an AAA Coaching's Soccer Tots program for children aged 2-4 years.

The Club’s currently provides the following football coaching sessions all year round at the times and venues indicated: • U5-U10s, plus all girls , the boys and girls in the Junior division for children aged 5-7 and the AAA Coaching's Soccer Tots program for children aged 2-4, train at Mengham Park 9:30-11.00 am on Saturday mornings

• U11-U13s train at Hayling Park 9:3011am on Saturday mornings With the Club’s commitment to this extensive football coaching programme it is no surprise that the Club has gained the FA Chartered Standard. This FA award means that all Hayling St Andrews FC coaches are DBS checked and qualified to at least FA Coaching Level 1. Many of the Club’s coaches however, have already attained higher level coaching awards.

On the playing side, the Club runs a number of teams. In the 2015/16 season, it is entering eleven boys teams from U8’s to U13’s in the Portsmouth Youth Football League. Following the introduction of the new girl's training sessions, the Club also aims to enter a Hayling St Andrews FC girls team in the girl’s league in the 2016/17 season. The girls coach, Ben Johnson, is in discussions with the Pompey Ladies FC about Hayling St Andrews FC becoming a feeder club for them. In the future this would mean talented girls from the island could join up with the best girl’s footballers in the local area.

For more information about your child getting involved with playing football, email the club at haylingstandrews@gmail.com or just come along to training on a Saturday morning.

CRAFT BEERS – Enjoy your local brews

By David Harris, Member of the British Guild of Beer Writers

India Pale Ale (IPA) – the Beer of the Empire floral aroma and a yeasty, hoppy taste. Also available on draught.

Back in the nineteenth century beer was exported to India for consumption by British troops. Prior to refrigeration it was not possible to brew beers in hot countries so barrels of strong heavily hopped beers brewed in Burton on Trent were exported to India. The extra alcohol and hops helped preserve these beers during the lengthy sea voyage to the Indian Empire. The term IPA came to denote a stronger, hoppier bitter beer.

With the revival of craft brewing in Britain from the 1970’s onward more breweries became interested in restoring this style of beer. At the same time in America small craft breweries began producing extreme versions of IPA which were very high in alcohol and very heavily hopped. If you like bitter but perhaps hanker for something a little stronger and more flavoursome than the lower alcohol session beers then IPA could be the drink for you. I have been around our local supermarkets and have rounded up a few IPAs which you may wish to try at home (or in your local pub). Expect to pay from £2 - £2.50 for a 500 ml bottle.

Thornbridge Jaipur IPA 5.9% 500 ml. Brewed in Bakewell, Derbyshire This is an unpasteurised and unfiltered beer brewed by the innovative Thornbridge Brewery who opened in 2005 and now brew over 20 different types of beer. It has a distinctly citrus taste and is very hoppy. A refreshing beer which is long on the palate.

Marston’s Old Empire IPA 5.7% Brewed in Burton on Trent Marston’s are one of Britain’s biggest independent breweries having acquired many local brewers in recent years. This is a more conventional tasting bitter which is not so heavily hopped. A very fine spicy, floral balanced taste.

St Peter’s Indian Pale Ale 5.5% 500 ml Brewed in Bungay, Suffolk This brewery, founded in 1996 now exports almost half of its production. Its distinctive flask shaped bottles help it stand out on the supermarket shelves. It has a well rounded

Fullers Bengal Lancer. 5.3% 500ml Brewed in London Fullers took over the much loved Horndean Breweries in 2005. This is a bottle conditioned, pale, golden tinged ale with a

taste and is not as heavily hopped as some IPAs. Shepherd Neame India Pale Ale (6.1%) 500 ml Brewed in Faversham, Kent This brewery goes back to the seventeeth century. This is maltier in taste than many IPAs and has a full flavour. I felt this was more like an Old/Strong ale in taste.

Goose Island IPA. (5.9%) 355 ml Brewed in Chicago, USA This American take on the traditional British IPA is one of the beers that started

the craft beer revolution in the USA. It is made with 4 different types of hops and has a very citrusy, bitter taste, much more so than most British IPA’s.

Oakleaf Brewery, IPA. (5.5%) 500 ml Brewed in Gosport This cloudy, golden beer has a dry, bitter marmalade, citrus and aniseed taste. It is a bottle conditioned beer which is very bitter in the American heavily hopped style.

Brewdog Punk IPA (5.6%) 330 ml Brewed in Ellon, Scotland This innovative Scottish brewery was founded in 2007 and has shaken up the brewing establishment with its challenging, extreme beers. This drink is light golden in colour with a powerful grapefruit aroma. It really is heavily hopped and has an overwhelming citrus/tropical fruit taste. This is a beer you either love or hate. No half measures with Brewdog beers.

Many breweries offer an IPA so do try this style next time you go out for a drink or select a few bottles of IPA when you are in the supermarket or off licence.

If you are looking for a good read then I can recommend “Hops and Glory” by Pete Brown. Pan Books 2009 £7.99. This is part history book and part travelogue. The author discovers the history of IPA and attempts to travel to India accompanied by a barrel of IPA beer. It is an amusing and informative book which any beer lover would enjoy.

Hair and Beauty 2-4 Park Road South, Havant, Hants PO9 1HB

Bodyworks Beauty Arena Most of us love the feel of the sun on our skin. We feel happier, more energised and healthier when we’re sun-kissed.

However, before we expose ourselves to those UV rays we need to make sure we’re protecting our skin!

What are UV rays?

Ultraviolet radiation is a form of energy that comes from the sun. It is composed of various wavelengths of light that penetrate the Ozone layer and Earth’s surface. Exposure to some forms of UV radiation (UVA/UVB) has been reported to be a major risk factor in cases of skin cancers. Long term exposure can harm the skins DNA and damage collagen fibers advancing the signs of aging. Premature wrinkling is common in those who have been exposed to the sun over long periods of time, as are age spots and uneven complexions. UV radiation can cause cataracts and weaken the immune system.

Who’s at risk?

Everyone. People with fairer skins are more likely to suffer damage from sun exposure but even people with darker skins need to take measures to protect themselves. Skins that have been burnt before, even in childhood, will be particularly sensitive to exposure.

Protecting ourselves

Hot Holiday Hair Whether you are just about to embark to sunnier climes; although, if your memory serves you well holiday hair is meant to be fuss-free, hasslefree and low maintenance - in the real world however, it’s usually anything but, because hot weather is not conducive to well-behaved hair – at all.

Peter Gibbs, director at headromance says: “Straight hair goes lank, wavy hair goes frizzy and coloured hair gets cooked; and as for the swimming pool… So apart from tying it up and and forgetting all about it, try some of these fun and hair-saving ideas: The knot - simple but sexy - dress up a humble knot with a colourful bandanna. This is just as easy as it looks, says Peter. Sweep hair up into a high ponytail and twist it casually around the base. Pin it in messily and let the front pieces fall out.

www.postcodepublications.com

The side plait - nothing shouts summer hair quite like a raid. This season braids ruled the runway again and will be ubiquitous on the beaches.

Favour a low, over the shoulder version and spray with dry shampoo for a matt texture.

The beach-hive - a great end of day look when you have that saltwater texture which gives natural grip to your hair.

Place the headband in first as it pulls your hair back, then use a widetoothed comb as you pin it up into a French twist. Secure it in place and then pull up the crown to enhance the beehive shape. " If your hair is coloured, comb Redken Colour Extend Sun Take Cover SPF25 Mousse (£14.30) through your hair before you hit the lounger to stop your scalp from burning and your colour from fading."

• Sunscreen When purchasing a sunscreen product you should think of it as an investment. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a measure of a sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB from damaging the skin. How it works: If it takes 20 minutes for your unprotected skin to start turning red, using an SPF 15 product should prevent reddening 15 times longer (about five hours). The higher the SPF, the higher percentage of protection against UVB rays.

Sunscreen works best once absorbed so apply it around 20 minutes before heading outdoors and reapply regularly (every two hours) especially when swimming or perspiring.

Tip – Remember to protect your lips by applying a lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher.

• Cover up Hats can protect the scalp, ears and hairline and shade the eyes from sunlight. Tightly-woven clothing helps deflect UV rays better than thin cotton.

• Sunglasses Plastic lenses that offer 100% UV protection are the best choice. Forget worrying about ‘panda eyes’ and remember you’re preventing the risk of cataracts in later life. Sunglasses also protect the delicate skin around the eyes from premature wrinkling.

• Avoid midday sun The sun’s rays are strongest between around 10.30am and 3.30pm so avoid being exposed during this time. If you are outdoors cover up, apply sunscreen and try and stay in the shade where possible.

Glow Safe If you have a fair complexion your skin contains fewer pigment producing cells which means you’re unlikely to achieve a tan. Why traumatise your skin trying when there are so many healthier options available?

Remember that you can achieve a ‘Faux Glow’ without any damage to your skin!

Apply a gradual tan moisturiser each evening and not only will you be glowing but you will have avoided the painful effects of the sun - including soreness, luminescent red skin and the dreaded peeling.

It’s not all bad…

Benefits of sunshine Sunlight can help heal psoriasis.

With protection applied, exposure to sunlight is extremely beneficial for individuals with psoriasis.

Sunlight can ease mild depression.

There has been a lot of research on the link between sunlight and our moods.

Studies have found that sunlight actually increases levels of a natural antidepressant in the brain. On sunny days, the brain produces more of the moodlifting chemical serotonin than on darker days.

Sunlight contributes to bone health in older adults.

Our skin contains a cholesterol substance called provitamin D3 that reacts with the UVB rays in sunlight to form vitamin D3.Vitamin D stimulates the absorption of bonestrengthening calcium.

Sunlight can improve sleep quality.

When sunlight hits your eyes, your optic nerve sends a message to the gland in the brain that produces melatonin (a hormone that helps you sleep); the gland decreases its secretions of melatonin until the sun goes down again. In other words, exposure to sunlight during the day increases the natural production of melatonin at night. Low levels of melatonin production are linked to poor sleep quality, especially in older adults.
