report on my work locally and in westminster EVERY CHILD DESERVES AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION, AND I BELIEVE IN WHAT OUTSTANDING SCHOOLS CAN DO TO ENSURE STUDENTS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE SO MANY BRILLIANT SCHOOLS IN THE HAVANT CONSTITUENCY THAT GO THE EXTRA MILE, AND CARE ABOUT CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN. MORE THAN 90 PER CENT OF CHILDREN IN OUR CONSTITUENCY ATTEND EITHER AN OUTSTANDING OR GOOD SCHOOL. WHILE WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH SUCCESSFUL ORGANISATIONS, I AM KEEN TO RECOGNISE SOME OF THE HARD-WORKING STUDENTS THAT CREATE THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT HELPS ALL PUPILS SUCCEED. THAT’S WHY I WAS RECENTLY AT BOSMERE JUNIOR SCHOOL TO HAND OUT MY FIRST MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SCHOOL AWARDS. THESE ARE TO HIGHLIGHT THE LOCAL PUPILS THAT HAVE SHOWN OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP OR MADE STRONG ACADEMIC PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. PUPILS AT BOSMERE WERE THE FIRST TO RECEIVE THEIR AWARDS THIS YEAR AND I’M PLEASED MANY OTHER SCHOOLS ACROSS OUR

CONSTITUENCY ARE NOW GETTING INVOLVED TOO. I WANT TO KEEP MOTIVATING MORE CHILDREN TO ACHIEVE THEIR BEST AND I’LL BE CONTINUING MY MANY SCHOOL PROjECTS TO ENSURE EVERY CHILD IN THE CONSTITUENCY GETS THE BEST START IN LIFE. A REMINDER THAT MY NEXT MAjOR CONSTITUENCY EVENT WILL BE MY FOURTH COMMUNITY GROUPS AND OLDER PERSONS INFORMATION FAIR, TAKING PLACE ON THURSDAY 4 JULY FROM 10AM TO 2PM AT THE MERIDIAN CENTRE IN HAVANT, WHICH IS FREE FOR ALL RESIDENTS.

CRAFT BEERS - Enjoy Sussex Beers

BY DAVID HARRIS, MEMBER OF THE BRITISH GUILD OF BEER WRITERS - EMAIL: MYDOGISFINN@GMAIL.COM

EAST AND WEST SUSSEX HAVE BETWEEN THEM 53 BREWERIES INCLUDING SEVEN BREWPUBS. THAT IS PUBS THAT BREW THEIR OWN BEER ON THE PREMISES. MOST HAVE OPENED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS BUT AMONGST THEM IS HARVEY’S OF LEWES WHO HAVE BEEN BREWING SINCE 1790. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND A GOOD SELECTION OF SUSSEX BEERS AT YOUR LOCAL COOP, INDEPENDENT OFF-LICENCES AND SPECIALIST BOTTLE SHOPS. WEST SUSSEX INCLUDES TOWNS SUCH AS CHICHESTER, WORTHING, HORSHAM, CRAWLEY AND BOGNOR REGIS. THE TOTAL POPULATION IS 852,000. EAST SUSSEX WHICH STRETCHES ALONG THE SOUTH COAST FROM BRIGHTON TO RYE HAS A POPULATION OF 840,000 AND INCLUDES BRIGHTON AND HOVE, HASTINGS, EASTBOURNE AND LEWES. MANY SUSSEX BREWERIES ARE IN RURAL LOCATIONS WHERE FARM BUILDINGS PROVIDE AN IDEAL SITE FOR A SMALL BREWERY. HERE ARE MY TASTING NOTES ON SOME FINE SUSSEX BEERS THAT I HAVE BOUGHT RECENTLY FROM LOCAL SHOPS. dark star hophead light ale 3.8% abv DARK STAR WERE FORMED IN 1994 AT THE EVENING STAR PUB IN BRIGHTON AND THEN MOVED TO PARTRIDGE GREEN, WEST SUSSEX IN 2010. THEY WERE TAKEN OVER BY LONDON BASED FULLER’S IN 2018 WHO THEMSELVES HAVE RECENTLY BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE JAPANESE ASAHI GROUP. DARK STAR WERE NAMED AFTER A SONG BY THE LEGENDARY AMERICAN ROCK GROUP, GRATEFUL DEAD. DARK STAR PRODUCE A WIDE RANGE OF CASK AND BOTTLED BEERS INCLUDING

IPA, PORTER, BROWN ALE, IMPERIAL STOUT AND LAGER. HOPHEAD POURS A STRAW COLOUR WITH A GRAPEFRUIT AROMA. IT IS FLAVOURED WITH CASCADE HOPS AND HAS qUITE A CITRUSY FLAVOUR.

langham brewery langham special draught lsd 5.2% abv LANGHAM WERE ESTABLISHED IN 2006 AND ARE BASED ON THE COWDRAY ESTATE IN AN OLD GRANARY BARN NEAR LODSWORTH, WEST SUSSEX. THEY OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF CASK AND BOTTLED BEERS INCLUDING BLONDE, SAISON, BEST BITTER, RED ALE, MILD, PORTER AND A BLACK IPA. THEIR BEERS ARE AVAILABLE AT OVER 200 OUTLETS IN THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND. THIS IS A FINE BALANCED ALE WITH A SPICY HOP AROMA. IT POURS A RICH AUBURN COLOUR.

hepworth Prospect organic Pale ale 4.5% abv HEPWORTH STARTED UP IN 2001 IN HORSHAM BUT MOVED TO NORTH HEATH, NEAR BILLINGSHURST, WEST SUSSEX IN 2016. THIS IS AN ORGANIC BREWERY WHO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF BEERS INCLUDING LAGER, IPA, BLONDE, STOUT, BITTER AND BARLEY WINE. BEERS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE CASK AT SELECTED OUTLETS OR IN BOTTLES FROM LOCAL SHOPS. THIS BOTTLE CONDITIONED ALE POURS A GOLDEN COLOUR AND HAS A BITTER ORANGE AROMA. A SLIGHTLY TART TASTE BUT STILL A GOOD BITTER ALE. harvey’s copperwheat wheat beer 4.8% abv THEY ARE ONE OF BRITAIN’S OLDEST BREWERIES BEING FOUNDED IN LEWES IN 1790. HARVEY’S ARE STILL A PRIVATE FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS WITH FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS CURRENTLY WORKING FOR THE BREWERY. THEY BOUGHT THE BRIDGE WHARF, LEWES, SITE IN 1838 AND HAVING BEEN BREWING THERE EVER SINCE. THEY BREW A VERY WIDE RANGE OF BEERS, BOTH CASK CONDITIONED WHICH ARE AVAILABLE IN THEIR 45 PUBS, AND BOTTLED BEERS. THEY ALSO SUPPLY A LARGE NUMBER OF PUBS IN LONDON AND SE ENGLAND. ON TAP YOU CAN GET MILD, IPA, BEST BITTER AND OLD ALE. COPPERWHEAT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE BELGIAN AND GERMAN WHEAT BEERS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE LIKE A GOLDEN ALE AND HAD A DISTINCTLY HOPPY TASTE.

Goodwood brewery Grogger Pale ale 4.5% abv BEER HAS BEEN BREWED AT GOODWOOD SINCE 1738. THIS AN ORGANIC BEER. GOODWOOD ALSO OFFER A LAGER AND AMERICAN PALE ALE. THEIR BEERS ARE AVAILABLE IN CASK, KEG OR BOTTLES AND ARE SERVED AT THE VARIOUS OUTLETS ON THE GOODWOOD ESTATE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY GOODWOOD BEERS AT MANY LOCAL SHOPS. GROGGER POURS A DARK GOLDEN COLOUR WITH AN ORANGEY AROMA. IT HAS A FINE BALANCED TASTE AND IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF AN ENGLISH BITTER.

helping hayling Pupils Grow!

PERFECT WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE ON THE CARDS FOR AN ENTHUSIASTIC TEAM OF NINE VOLUNTEERS TO GIVE UP THEIR TIME TO HELP THE HAYLING COLLEGE PREPARE VEGETABLE BEDS AND CLEAR OUT THE POND AREA FOR THEIR GROWING TOGETHER PROjECT. EMPLOYEES FROM PFIZER, A LARGE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY BASED IN HAVANT, HAVE VOLUNTEERED TIME FOR MANY PROjECTS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND HAVE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR MANY LOCAL CHARITIES AND ORGANISATIONS. FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL THEY WERE HELPING THE GROWING TOGETHER PROjECT, SET UP BY BILL BIGGS AND RAY JONES FROM HAYLING ISLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.THE OBjECTIVE OF THE PROjECT IS TO HELP CROSS THE

INTERGENERATIONAL DIVIDE ENABLING CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO WORK AND HAVE FUN TOGETHER GROWING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AT HAYLING COLLEGE. THE VOLUNTEERS SPLIT INTO TWO TEAMS; ONE DIGGING OVER A LARGE VEGETABLE BED READY FOR THE PUPILS TO PLANT POTATOES, THE OTHER TEAM CLEARED THE AREA AROUND THE POND. PREPARING THE GROUND WILL ENABLE THE COLLEGE TO RUN ACTIVITIES, LEARNING BASIC GARDENING AND TEAMWORK SKILLS. CHERYL A VOLUNTEER FROM PFIZER IS A FORMER PUPIL OF THE COLLEGE AND STILL LIVES NEARBY. SHE SAID,“IT’S BEEN INTERESTING TO COME BACK TO MY FORMER SCHOOL AND TO SEE HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED. I HAVE ENjOYED HELPING OUT TODAY, IT’S BEEN REWARDING TO GIVE

SOMETHING BACK TO MY LOCAL COMMUNITY.” RAY JONES FROM HAYLING ISLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE VOLUNTEERS HELP “WE WOULDN’T HAVE ACHIEVED THIS WITHOUT THE TEAM FROM PFIZER, THEY ARE SUCH A NICE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND WE HAVE REALLY ENjOYED THEIR COMPANY AND GREAT CONVERSATION.THEY HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND WE WOULD WELCOME THEM BACK WITH OPEN ARMS AT ANY TIME.” SOME OF THE PUPILS jOINED THE TEAM AND WERE SO HELPFUL AND ENTHUSIASTIC. LOUISE FROM PFIZER SAID,“IT’S SO NICE TO SEE THE PUPILS INTERACTING WITH RAY FROM GROWING TOGETHER AND SHOWING HIM SUCH RESPECT, THIS PROVES THAT WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS WORKING.”

hearts oF oaK STANSTED PARK JOINS NATIONAL EFFORT TO REBUILD NOTRE DAME STANSTED PARK ESTATE IN ROWLANDS CASTLE HAS jOINED MORE THAN 100 OF THE UK’S MOST FAMOUS HISTORIC HOUSES, TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE REBUILDING OF THE NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL IN PARIS. HISTORIC HOUSES, THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR INDEPENDENTLY OWNED HOMES AND GARDENS, HAS RALLIED ITS MEMBERS TO SUPPORT THE RESTORATION OF THE ICONIC FIRE-RAVAGED BUILDING. THE DONOR ESTATES HAVE ALL OFFERED VALUABLE TIMBER, FROM TREES PLANTED CENTURIES AGO, TO HELP RESTORE THE ICONIC LANDMARK’S ROOF, DESTROYED BY FIRE LAST MONTH. MICHAEL PRIOR, HEAD FORESTER AT STANSTED PARK, SAID, ‘THE HISTORIC HOUSES ASSOCIATION ASKED FOR SIMILAR DONATIONS OF OAK TIMBER AFTER THE DEVASTATING FIRE AT YORK MINSTER IN 1984.

‘AN ESTATE WHERE L WAS PREVIOUSLY EMPLOYED SENT SEVERAL FINE TREES TO THAT

YOUR MONEY buy-to-let Property Investment

APPEAL AND SO IT IS AN HONOUR AND FITTING THAT THE STANSTED PARK FOUNDATION CAN NOW ASSIST NOTRE DAME IN ITS TIME OF NEED.’ THE TREES ARE ALL FROM SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY AND ALREADY DESTINED FOR USE AS COMMERCIAL TIMBER. THEY ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE A COMBINED MARKET OF WELL OVER £100,000. BUT THE DONORS ARE KEEN TO EMPHASISE THAT THE TIMBER IN BUILDINGS LIKE NOTRE DAME ARE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MONEY CAN’T BUY. THE SCHEME WAS THE BRAINCHILD OF THE DUKE OF RUTLAND, WHOSE FAMILY SEAT IS BELVOIR CASTLE IN LINCOLNSHIRE. HE SAID, ‘WE’RE ABLE TO DONATE REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO PLANT TREES THAT WOULD ONLY BE VALUABLE LONG AFTER HE DIED. IN TURN, WE’LL REPLANT EVERY TREE WE FELL – SOMEONE WILL NEED THEM FOR SOMETHING IN ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED YEARS.’

BUY-TO-LET INVOLVES INVESTING IN PROPERTY WITH THE EXPECTATION OF CAPITAL GROWTH, WITH THE RENTAL INCOME COVERING THE MORTGAGE COSTS AND ANY OUTGOINGS. WITH THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE STOCK MARKETS AND THE LOSS OF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN PENSIONS AS A WAY OF SAVING FOR THE FUTURE, THE UK PROPERTY MARKET HAS PROVED OVER THE LONG-TERM TO BE A VERY SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENT. HOWEVER, EXPENSES SUCH AS LETTING FEES, MAINTENANCE, SERVICE CHARGES AND INSURANCE, MAY MAKE THE RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT LESS ATTRACTIVE THAN ANTICIPATED. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ENTER THE BUY-TO-LET MARKET YOU WILL NEED TO CONSIDER THE LIKELIHOOD OF CAPITAL APPRECIATION EXCEEDING INFLATION. do: • THINK OF YOUR INVESTMENT AS MEDIUM TO LONG-TERM • RESEARCH THE LOCAL MARKET • DO YOUR SUMS CAREFULLY don’t: • PURCHASE ANYTHING WITH SERIOUS MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS • THINK THAT FRIENDS AND RELATIVES CAN LOOK AFTER THE LETTING FOR YOU – YOU’RE PROBABLY BETTER OFF WITH A FULL MANAGEMENT SERVICE • CUT CORNERS WITH TENANCY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER LEGAL DOCUMENTATION. what about tax on rental income?

three times in one day LOCAL CYCLIST, AND RETIRED TEACHER, MIKE HARBOUR FROM ROWLANDS CASTLE ACHIEVED A RIDE UP THE FAMOUS MONT VENTOUX IN FRANCE IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JUNE 2013 AND HAS RIDDEN IT THREE OR FOUR TIMES SINCE THEN. LAST YEAR HE CHALLENGED HIMSELF TO DO IT AGAIN, BUT THERE ARE THREE CHOICES OF WHERE TO START, – BéDOIN, MALAUCèNE AND SAULT SO HE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT ALL THREE IN ONE DAY, AND TO ACHIEVE EACH CLIMB WITHOUT PUTTING A FOOT DOWN UNTIL HE REACHED THE SUMMIT. HE WRITES : ‘I ARRIVED IN MALAUCèNE AT ABOUT 6.30AM WITH THE BIKE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I CYCLED THE NINE MILES ROUND TO BéDOIN TO START THE FIRST AND THE MOST CHALLENGING CLIMB. BY 7.25 I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE BéDOIN ON THE ROUTE TO THE SUMMIT, CRAMMING NUTS AND DATES INTO MY MOUTH. THE BREEZE, WHICH HAD BEEN WORRYINGLY STRONG WHEN I HAD LEFT THE HOUSE EARLIER, WAS ALMOST NONEXISTENT. FOR ME THIS HAD ALWAYS BEEN THE STARTING POINT FOR THE SOUTHERN CLIMB, BUT I WANTED TO KEEP CAREFUL TABS ON MY TIME FOR THIS FIRST CLIMB. I NEEDED TO AVOID GOING OUT TOO FAST AND ‘BLOWING UP’ LATER. THE ROAD ENTERS THE FOREST AFTER LES BRUNS AND RAMPS UP TO A GRADIENT OF OVER TEN PERCENT IN PLACES. I KNEW THAT THE CLIMB WOULD BE UNRELENTING UNTIL I REACHED THE CHALET REYNARD SOME EIGHT MILES UP THE ROAD. IT WAS EERILY qUIET. AN OLDER FRENCH RIDER DREW ALONGSIDE AND WE RODE IN SILENCE TOGETHER FOR A FEW KILOMETRES BEFORE HE GRADUALLY PULLED AHEAD AND DISAPPEARED OUT OF SIGHT. 'DON’T TRY TO GO WITH HIM,' I SAID TO MYSELF,

FROM MIKE SKIFFINS

I FOUND MYSELF INCREASING MY PACE AS I HEADED TOWARDS THE SUMMIT OVER THE BLEAK MOONSCAPE THAT IS THE UPPER SLOPE OF THE VENTOUX. THEN, ALMOST WITHOUT WARNING, ONTO THE STEEP RAMP UP TO THE OBSERVATORY AND THE POST THAT MARKS THE SUMMIT AT 1,909M. MY TIME HAD BEEN TWO HOURS AND NINE MINUTES, ONLY TEN MINUTES SLOWER THAN MY BEST EVER. I HAD RIDDEN MUCH TOO FAST, AND I HOPED THAT I WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT LATER IN THE DAY. I PUT ON MY LIGHT WINDPROOF jACKET FOR THE DESCENT TO MALAUCèNE. BACK AT THE CAR I FUELLED UP, AND HEADED BACK TO START THE SECOND CLIMB BY jUST AFTER ELEVEN O’CLOCK. REACHING THE TOP WAS NOW FEELING DISTINCTLY LIKE HARD WORK. A GLANCE AT MY TIME, AS I STOOD AMONG FELLOW CYCLISTS AT THE OBSERVATORY, CONFIRMED MY WORST FEARS. IT WAS TWO HOURS AND TWENTYTWO MINUTES, I WAS PAYING FOR MY EARLIER ENTHUSIASM. DOWN TO SAULT AND A LATE LUNCH THANKS TO MY WIFE VANESSA. WE SAT IN THE PARK WITH A VIEW OF THE RELATIVELY GENTLE SOUTH EASTERN SLOPE OF THE VENTOUX AND THE LAVENDER FIELDS BELOW. THE FINAL CLIMB WOULD BE THE EASIEST AND I KNEW THAT VANESSA WOULD BE NEARBY IN THE CAR, I WAS BACK ON THE BIKE BEFORE FOUR O’CLOCK.VANESSA KEPT PASSING ME IN THE CAR AND BEGAN TAKING PHOTOS ON THE LOWER SLOPES. AT THE SUMMIT I CHECKED MY TIME: ONE HOUR AND FIFTY-SIX MINUTES. THAT WAS TWENTYTHREE MINUTES SLOWER THAN I HAD PREVIOUSLY CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN FROM SAULT. THERE REALLY WAS NOT MUCH LEFT 'IN MY TANK'. I DESCENDED AT SPEED, BUT TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPRECIATE THE MOUNTAINS, BATHED AS THEY WERE IN THE GOLDEN, PROVENçAL, EVENING LIGHT.'

have a heart Q can someone carry on cycling regularly if they have had a heart attack ?

A FIRST, ANYONE WHO HAS HEART SYMPTOMS SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS A HEART ATTACK, AND SECONDLY THEY SHOULD FOLLOW THE DOCTOR'S ADVICE. MALISSA CRAIG, EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST AT LIVERPOOL HEART AND CHEST HOSPITAL SAYS THAT FOR MOST PEOPLE EXERCISE WILL BENEFIT YOUR HEART. A FRIEND OF MINE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WHERE THEY FITTED A COUPLE OF STENTS TO IMPROVE THE BLOOD FLOW. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO GO ON A SPECIAL CARDIAC FITNESS COURSE AND HE IS NOW BACK ON HIS BIKE AND RIDING WITH HIS FRIENDS. MY OWN STORY IS A BIT DIFFERENT. IN NOVEMBER LAST YEAR I FELT UNWELL AND MY DOCTOR'S SURGERY SENT ME TO THE HOSPITAL FOR INVESTIGATION. THEY REFERRED ME TO THE CARDIAC CENTRE AT SOUTHAMPTON GENERAL HOSPITAL WHO DID MORE TESTS AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO GO IN FOR OPEN HEART SURGERY TO REPLACE A VALVE IN MY HEART. AFTER TREATMENT IT TOOK SIX WEEKS FOR ME TO GRADUALLY RECOVER FROM THE SURGERY BUT I WAS UNDER STRICT INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO LIFT ANYTHING HEAVIER THAN HALF A KETTLE OF WATER, AND NOT TO DO ANY HOOVERING, GARDENING, CARRY SHOPPING AND DEFINITELY NO CYCLING. AFTER SIX WEEKS I WAS FEELING VERY WELL, BUT THE CARDIAC UNIT INSISTED THAT I STILL SHOULDN'T LIFT OR CYCLE, BUT RECOMMENDED THE SPECIAL CARDIAC REHAB COURSE TO HELP MY MUSCLES RECOVER FROM SIX WEEKS OF DOING NOTHING. FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE SUPPORTED THE BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION BY DOING SPONSORED RIDES AND IT WAS MY AIM TO GET FIT ENOUGH TO REPEAT THAT RIDE LATER THIS YEAR. THIS HAS INVOLVED DOING THE FULL NHS REHAB COURSE, AND AS SOON AS I WAS ALLOWED BACK ON MY BIKE, GRADUALLY INCREASING THE DISTANCE I COULD CYCLE. AT FIRST IT WAS jUST 'ROUND THE BLOCK' ON MY LOCAL STREETS, BUT I WAS SOON ABLE TO GO FURTHER AND INCLUDE A COUPLE OF STRETCHES OF RISING ROAD. THIS WAS IMPORTANT AS A KEY TARGET WAS TO BE ABLE TO RIDE UP PORTSDOWN HILL, SO I BUILT IN A MORNING RIDE FROM HAVANT TO FORT NELSON WHERE I STOPPED FOR A COFFEE AND A BUN. THE ACTUAL ROUND THE HARBOURS RIDE FOR BHF STARTS AT THE SPRING IN HAVANT AND GOES UP PORTSDOWN HILL, BEFORE DESCENDING TO FAREHAM , AND THROUGH TITCHFIELD TO HILLHEAD.

MIKE BACK TAKES NEW HEART ON HIS BIKE

FROM THERE IT FOLLOWS THE COAST TO GOSPORT FOR THE SHORT FERRY RIDE TO PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR STATION AND ALL ALONG THE SEAFRONT AT SOUTHSEA BEFORE TURNING INLAND TO RETURN TO HAVANT. A TOTAL DISTANCE OF THIRTY MILES. IT IS qUITE AMAZING HOW SUCCESSFUL THIS MAjOR HEART SURGERY IS, AND HOW COMPLETELY PEOPLE CAN RECOVER. PART OF THIS IS DUE TO THE RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE BHF OVER THE YEARS, AND I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS RIDE AND HELP SUPPORT THEM. SO, THE ANSWER TO YOUR qUESTION IS 'YES' PROVIDED THEY GET THE RIGHT ATTENTION AND FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE.

CTC details can be found on http://www.portsmouthctc.org.uk Mike has set up a donation page on Just Giving, dedicating the ride to the Surgeon and teams at Southampton Hospitals. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Michael -Skiffins4

IT’S BASICALLY A GENERIC MUMMY MOVIE WITH TOM CRUISE AND A HOST OF OTHER ACTORS OUTRUNNING A MUMMY-FESTATION. IT’S A GOOD, NOT GREAT MOVIE, TO PASS THE TIME.

a U C t I o n e e r & a n t I Q U e s e n t H U s I a s t H I L a ry B o Lt o n M a ry s e to n Wat t s OVER THE LAST TWENTY 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. IN MY LAST ARTICLE I TOLD YOU A LITTLE ABOUT GEORGE FREDERIC WATTS, THE REMARKABLE VICTORIAN ARTIST AND VISIONARY. THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU A BIT ABOUT HIS SECOND WIFE, MARY. THEY MARRIED IN 1886 WHEN SHE WAS 37 AND HE 69, LATER SETTLING IN COMPTON, jUST SOUTH OF GUILDFORD, WHERE THEY PURSUED RICH AND ARTISTIC LIVES UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1904 AND HERS IN 1938.

MARY SETON FRASER TYTLER CAME FROM A WEALTHY SCOTTISH FAMILY, GREW UP IN A CASTLE, STUDIED ARTS AT DRESDEN, KENSINGTON AND THE SLADE SCHOOL OF ART.

PAGE: 14

SHE HAD STRONG SOCIAL REFORMING VIEWS AND INTERESTS, WHICH WERE MORE THAN MERE IDEALS. SHE TAUGHT ART AND CLAY MODELLING TO POOR LONDON EAST-ENDERS AND SAT ON A NATIONAL COMMITTEE TO FURTHER TEACHING OF CRAFT SKILLS FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF ALL. SHE ALSO SUPPORTED WOMEN’S RIGHTS, LATTERLY BEING PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL NATIONAL UNION OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE SOCIETY. ANYHOW . . . BACK A FEW YEARS. THROUGH A CLOSE FRIEND WHO WAS THE SISTER OF ALICE LIDDELL (OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND FAME), MARY jOINED THE CIRCLE OF ARTISTS AND WRITERS WHICH SURROUNDED THE ISLE OF WIGHT HOME OF THE PIONEERING PHOTOGRAPHER, JULIA MARGARET CAMERON AND HER NEIGHBOUR AND CLOSE FRIEND ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON. IT WAS HERE THAT SHE AND HER SISTERS WERE PHOTOGRAPHED BY MRS CAMERON, AND SHE MET GEORGE FREDERIC WATTS. MORE THAN 30 YEARS

HER SENIOR, IN FRAIL HEALTH BY THEN, BUT REVERED

BY THE NATION. SOMEHOW THEIR STARS WERE FIXED AND INTERTWINED AND MARY SET HERSELF TO AID, CHAMPION, SUCCOUR, EXALT AND PROMOTE THE LIFE AND WORK OF THE MAN SHE CALLED “SEIGNEUR” AND MARRIED. THEIR PARTNERSHIP FLOURISHED, AND MARY’S CONTINUING ARTISTIC AND COMMERCIAL INTERESTS WERE MANY AND VARIED. SHE DESIGNED, DREW AND PAINTED, SCULPTED AND POTTED, PRODUCED FABRICS AND WOVEN GOODS AND PERSONALLY DECORATED THEIR HOME WITH PLASTER AND GHESSO WORK. IN 1893 SHE EXHIBITED IN THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION IN CHICAGO, USA. IN COMPTON SHE ALSO SET UP A GALLERY DEDICATED TO HER HUSBAND’S IMPRESSIVELY LARGE WORKS OF ART, AND DESIGNED AND BUILT A MEMORIAL CHAPEL FOR HIM – WHICH WAS OPENED IN 1898, SOME SIX YEARS BEFORE HE DIED. BUT MUCH OF MARY’S LEGACY AND FAME RESIDES IN THE WORK OF THE LOCAL VILLAGERS WITH WHOM SHE FORMED THE COMPTON ART POTTERS GUILD. SO MORE ABOUT THAT NEXT TIME!

Don’t stop Wining bbQ reds

Fred’s Food salads of substance: dressed for the occasion

BY JONATHAN ROGERS OF VIN WINE MERCHANTS EMSWORTH

As this popular pastime approaches us, Jonathan looks at what reds are perfect with the bangers and burgers.

THE qUESTION IS, ARE WE GOING TO GET AN AMAZING SUMMER LIKE LAST YEAR’S? SO FAR ITS BEEN A BIT MIXED, ONE DAY NICE AND HOT, THE NEXT DRIZZLY AND COLD. YOU COULD ARGUE ITS NOT qUITE SUMMER YET, BUT IT WILL BE UPON US VERY SOON. AS SOON AS IT DOES ARRIVE, WE TEND TO BRUSH OFF THE DUST AND THE RUST FROM OUR OUTDOOR GRILLS AND SLAP ON A FEW BURGERS AND SAUSAGES ALONG WITH WHATEVER ELSE WE FANCY AND ENjOY A BIT OF ALFRESCO DINING WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. EVERY YEAR I AM ASKED ABOUT WINES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SUMMER DRINKING. GENERALLY, WINE IS VERY SEASONAL WITH DRY CRISP WHITES AND ROSE WHEN IT’S HOT AND FULL-BODIED OAKY REDS IN THE WINTER, BUT YOU CAN ENjOY ANY WINE AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.

A LITTLE OAK AGEING WON’T GO A MISS. I’M THINKING RIOjA, BUT AT THE LOWER END OF THE OAK SCALE. STRAIGHT RIOjA MADE FROM TEMPRANILLO AND GRENACHE WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE OAK AGEING AND THIS IS WHAT WILL PAIR NICELY DUE TO SOFT FRUIT ELEMENT ALSO IN THE WINE. IF YOU LIKE YOUR OAK THAN RIOjA CRIANZA, RESERVA OR GRAN RESERVA IS FOR YOU BUT MAYBE TO FULL TO DRINK IN THE AFTERNOON. MY ADVICE IS TO KEEP THESE FOR THE EVENING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CAN DROP. HERE IS SOMETHING FOR YOU TO TRY:

southway shiraz victoria australia £7.99 BARGAIN PRICE SHIRAZ WITH SOFT BLACKCURRANT FRUIT WITH A jAMMY FINISH. ROUNDED AND SMOOTH BUT A HEFTY 14.5% ALCOHOL.

THE CLASSIC BBQ CUISINE IS WHAT I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE, BURGERS AND BANGERS, BIT OF CHICKEN MAYBE A FEW PRAWNS? QUITE A MIX WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, SO WHAT IS GOING TO PAIR PERFECTLY WITH THAT MIX? WARM WEATHER TENDS TO REqUIRE LIGHTER REDS, SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO CHILL. BUT THOSE MEATS CAN BE qUITE FILLING AND SPICY DEPENDING WHAT TYPE OF SAUSAGES YOU GO FOR SO THIS MAY REqUIRE A RED WITH A LITTLE MORE BODY. THE GRAPE VARIETY SHIRAZ HAS THAT SPICY FRUIT CHARACTER SO WOULD GO NICELY. BUT THAT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHICH COUNTRY YOU CHOOSE. SHIRAZ FROM WARMER COUNTRIES TEND TO HAVE MUCH MORE jAMMY, BLACK CURRANT FRUIT BUT CAN ALSO BE HIGH IN ALCOHOL. IF YOU GRAB ONE FROM FRANCE FOR EXAMPLE, THEY CAN BE DRIER, AND MORE SPICE DRIVEN. BOTH GORGEOUS BUT DIFFERENT IN STYLE. A GRAPE THAT I THINK IS UNDERRATED AND USUALLY USED FOR BLENDING IS GRENACHE. ON ITS OWN IT HAS A WONDERFUL RED FRUIT AROMA ALONG WITH THE SPICY FRUIT THAT SHIRAZ HAS. ITS ROUNDER THAN SHIRAZ BUT NOT AS SWEET OR jAMMY. WHATEVER YOU COOK YOU ARE GOING TO GET A BIT OF CHARGRILL ON YOUR FOOD WHICH CAN ADD A NICE SMOKY CHARACTER TO YOUR DISHES. WITH THIS IN MIND, SOMETHING WITH

a

S WE HEAD INTO THE WARM SUMMER MONTHS, A SUBSTANTIAL SALAD FULL OF SEASONAL LEAVES, ROASTED VEG, A BIT OF PROTEIN AND TOPPED WITH CRUNCHY NUTS OR CROUTONS IS THE PERFECT MEAL, FULL OF FLAVOUR, COLOUR AND DIFFERENT TEXTURES, BUT WITHOUT FILLING YOU TO BURSTING ON A HOT DAY. YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR SALAD DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAND OR WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE, WITH SOME BASIC RULES TO HELP YOU ALONG THE WAY.

WITH THE PROTEINS, THINK TUNA, TOFU OR SALMON, ROAST BEEF, CRISPY BACON OR SERRANO HAM, FETA OR GOAT'S CHEESE. YOU ONLY NEED ONE OF THESE, AND SELECT THE OTHER INGREDIENTS AROUND THIS PROTEIN BASE.YOU CAN ADD THIS SPARINGLY, OR TOP THE SALAD WITH A CHICKEN BREAST OR GRILLED STEAK.

Langar is the term used in Sikhism for the community kitchen in a Gurdwara (Sikh temple) where a free meal is served to all visitors, without distinction of religion, caste, gender, economic status or ethnicity. The smells and tastes were truly divine and appreciated by all who attended.

Midsummer Madness concert in aid of charity BEDHAMPTON CHOIR, FOLKS IN HARMONY, ARE ONCE AGAIN STAGING A SUMMER SHOW MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF THEIR REGULAR AUDIENCE! TITLED ‘MIDSUMMER MADNESS,’ THE SHOW IS ON saturday 29th June AT 7.30PM IN THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION IN PENRHYN AVENUE, DRAYTON, PORTSMOUTH, PO6 2AP. NOW IN THEIR SEVENTH YEAR, THE MIXED CHOIR HAS SWELLED TO OVER 40 SINGERS, WHICH GIVES A DEPTH TO THE SOUND, ESPECIALLY AS THERE IS A LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC BASS SECTION! THE ‘A CAPPELLA’ CHOIR’S HARMONIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SWEET AND BALANCED, BUT THEY NOW HAVE A RESONANCE AND A CONFIDENCE GAINED FROM EXPERIENCE. THIS IS NO SURPRISE AS MANY OF THE SINGERS HAVE BEEN WITH THE CHOIR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND HAVE CLEARLY BENEFITED FROM THE POTTED SINGING LESSONS AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH REHEARSAL. THE CONCERT FEATURES MANY NEW SONGS FROM THE WORLDS OF CLASSIC POP, MUSICALS AND FOLK, AND RESIDENT ARRANGER AND CO MUSIC DIRECTOR, PETER MUMFORD, TAKES DELIGHT IN MOVING THE MELODY AROUND THE DIFFERENT VOICE SECTIONS IN HIS ARRANGEMENTS. HOWEVER, AS EVER, FOLKS IN HARMONY IS MORE THAN A CHOIR! MANY OF THE CHOIR MEMBERS ARE SHOWCASING THEIR INDIVIDUAL TALENTS TO CREATE A GREAT VARIETY PERFORMANCE. THE PROGRAMME INCLUDES CLASSICAL MUSIC, POETRY, A COUPLE OF HUMOROUS ITEMS, SOLOS, AS WELL AS SUPERB HARMONIC SINGING FROM THE

SMALL MIXED GROUP, OCTANGLE, AND THE SMALL LADIES GROUP, B NATURAL. THE PROFITS FROM THE CONCERT WILL BE DONATED TO 2 CHARITIES CLOSE TO THE HEARTS OF A COUPLE OF THE CHOIR MEMBERS, MYAWARE, WHICH SUPPORTS PEOPLE WITH MYASTHENIA, AND THE RNIB. BASS DAVID LOCKYER CHOSE MYAWARE BECAUSE HIS GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYASTHENIA GRAVIS WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 14. IT IS AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE THAT CAUSES MUSCLE WEAKNESS AND THE EFFORT NEEDED TO OVERCOME THIS CAUSES EXTREME TIREDNESS. IT ALSO AFFECTS SPEAKING, SMILING AND SWALLOWING. THE MONEY WILL BE SPENT ON RESEARCH TO FIND

A CURE FOR THIS PERNICIOUS DISEASE. TENOR LIN LONGHURST, WHO SELECTED THE RNIB, IS A GREAT FAN AND SAID, “THE CHARITY DID A LOT FOR MY AUNT WHEN SHE HAD FAILING EYESIGHT. I ALSO RECEIVE TREATMENT FOR GLAUCOMA, AND CAN SEE FIRST-HAND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY EYE CONDITIONS. I THINK IT IS A VERY WORTHY CAUSE.” DURING THE INTERVAL THE AUDIENCE WILL BE TREATED TO SUMMER SPRITZERS AND ICE CREAMS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE TICKET PRICE OF £8.

TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED BY RINGING 02392 366508. MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE WWW.FOLKSINHARMONY.CO.UK

woodmancote church restored

BY MIKE SKIFFINS

ON 30TH MARCH 2019, THE REVD. ANDREW DOYE, RECTOR OF WESTBOURNE WITH WOODMANCOTE, GAVE THANKSGIVING FOR THE RESTORATION OF WOODMANCOTE CHURCH AND DEDICATED ITS NEW CROSS.

IN 2012, A SERVICE WAS HELD TO CELEBRATE THE CHURCH'S 120TH ANNIVERSARY, (NOT BAD FOR A 'TEMPORARY BUILDING') BUT IT WAS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF ITS AGE

Editor’s note: We reported in our last edition that the cross was created by the HAMESH Men’s Shed in Havant, to replace the rotten original.

HAMESH used good parts of the origional to make candlesticks sold at the church raising over £400 towards the restoration costs. a tin tabernacle THE CHURCH AT WOODMANCOTE IS UNUSUAL, LOOKING A BIT LIKE A SCOUT HUT, PERCHED ON RISING GROUND NEAR THE WOODMANCOTE ARMS. IN FACT THIS IS A RARE BUILDING, OVER 120 YEARS OLD, AND ITS SURVIVAL IS A TESTAMENT TO ITS CONSTRUCTORS AND TO THE CARE GIVEN OVER THE YEARS. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND EXPANDED RAPIDLY IN VICTORIAN TIMES, PARTLY OUT OF A NEW RELIGIOUS FERVOUR BUT ALSO TO SERVE A RISING POPULATION. IN MANY CASES AN URGENT NEED WOULD BE FILLED BY A TYPICALLY VICTORIAN INVENTION – THE CORRUGATED IRON BUILDING. CORRUGATED IRON WAS DEVELOPED IN BRITAIN IN THE MID 19TH CENTURY AND REFINED

BY GALVANISING THE SHEETS FOR DURABILITY, WHICH LED TO MORE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDING

REVD. DOYE SHAKING HANDS WITH GEORGE PALMER OF haMesh AT THE DEDICATION OF THE CROSS

MANY TYPES OF PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS FROM 1850 ONWARDS. MANY OF THESE WERE INTENDED TO BE TEMPORARY STRUCTURES, AND SO THE CHURCHES BUILT USING THIS MATERIAL BECAME NICKNAMED 'TIN TABERNACLES' AFTER THE REFERENCE IN EXODUS TO THE PORTABLE DWELLING OF YAHWEH USED BY THE WANDERING TRIBES OF ISRAEL. MANY SUCH BUILDINGS WERE ALSO EXPORTED TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN SUPPORT OF MISSIONARY WORK, AND WERE USED BY DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS. IN OCTOBER 1892 AN 'IRON ROOM' WAS ERECTED FOR DIVINE SERVICE IN WOODMANCOTE

BY THE REVEREND J H MEE AND WAS CALLED ‘THE MISSION ROOM’. IT IS SAID THAT IT ARRIVED FROM SOUTHBOURNE STATION ON A HORSE-DRAWN

VEHICLE IN A FLAT PACK (DID IKEA GET THEIR IDEAS FROM THE VICTORIANS?). IT REMAINED IN THE OWNERSHIP OF REVEREND MEE UP UNTIL 7TH JANUARY 1919 WHEN IT WAS CONVEYED TO THE TRUSTEES OF WESTBOURNE CHURCH. SINCE THEN, WOODMANCOTE CHURCH HAS BEEN AN ECCLESIASTICAL CHARITY UNDER THE SOLE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF THE RECTOR OF WESTBOURNE, the chapel was licensed in 1928.

WOODMANCOTE IS ONE OF ONLY TWO ACTIVE ANGLICAN ‘TIN TABERNACLES’ STILL BEING USED FOR DIVINE SERVICE, THE OLDEST IN SUSSEX AND THE FOURTH OLDEST IN THE UK. A SIMILAR BUILDING IS HOUSED IN THE WEALD AND DOWNLAND MUSEUM AT SINGLETON.

the restoration IN 2018 IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE CHURCH NEEDED REFURBISHMENT,THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN CLEANED, REPAINTED AND VARNISHED, WHILE THE CEILING HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IN ADDITION THE OLD WINDOWS WERE REPLACED BY MODERN WINDOWS IN A SIMILAR STYLE OF WOODEN FRAMES. EXTERNALLY, THE CORRUGATED IRON HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REPAINTED BUT THE WOODEN CROSS OUTSIDE HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS FOR MANY YEARS AND WOULD REqUIRE VERY SPECIALIST WORK TO RESTORE. the cross THE CHURCH ASKED LOCAL MENS SHEDS IF THEY COULD UNDERTAKE THIS PROjECT AND haMesh, THE HAVANT TOWN CENTRE MENS SHED, AGREED THAT THEY COULD. GEORGE PALMER IS A SKILLED CARVER AND WOODWORKER WHO SOURCED SOME SEASONED OAK FOR THE CROSS, AND OVER SEVERAL MONTHS CAREFULLY CARVED THE TEXT, AND CONSTRUCTED AND ERECTED THE NEW CROSS AT WOODMANCOTE WHICH IS NOW READILY VISIBLE BEHIND THE RECENTLY REDUCED HEDGING. REVD. DOYE MADE REFERENCE IN HIS ADDRESS TO THE HYMN 'THE OLD RUGGED CROSS' WITH THE HOPE THAT THE NEW CROSS WOULD STAND FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL IT, TOO, BECAME RUGGED.

haMesh candles

WHEN THE HAVANT TOWN CENTRE MENS SHED (HAMESH) WERE ASKED TO MAKE A NEW CROSS FOR WOODMANCOTE CHURCH, THE OLD ONE WAS REMOVED. DESPITE SEVERE DAMAGE RESULTING FROM OVER 120 YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO THE WEATHER THERE WAS A LOT OF SOUND WOOD REMAINING. OF COURSE THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH HAD AN AFFECTION FOR THE OLD CROSS SO HAMESH DECIDED TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE TO SALVAGE THE TIMBER AND RECYCLE THE OLD OAK WHILST RETAINING SOME OF THE SPIRIT OF THE ORIGINAL. GEORGE PALMER TOOK THE OLD CROSS BEAM WITH ITS ORIGINAL CARVING AND SEPARATED THE TEXT INTO SEPARATE WORDS AFTER CLEANING UP THE ANCIENT DECAY, AND TRANSFORMED EACH 'WORD' INTO A CANDLE HOLDER FOR THREE OR FOUR TABLE CANDLES. MEANWHILE HE SAWED THE UPRIGHT POST INTO SUITABLE LENGTHS AND INVITED FELLOW SHED MEMBERS TO EACH MAKE A PAIR OF TURNED WOODEN CANDLESTICKS.

THE TURNING PROCESS, OF COURSE, REMOVES A LOT OF THE OUTSIDE WOOD SO THEY AGREED TO LEAVE THE BOTTOM INCH UNTOUCHED AS A SqUARE BASE OF WEATHERED WOOD TOPPED BY A STURDY, SHAPED AND POLISHED CANDLESTICK. THE END RESULTS WERE PRESENTED TO REVD. DOYE AT THE HAMESH SHED PREMISES AND DISPLAYED AT THE OFFICIAL OPEN DAY AT THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH CHOSE TO RETAIN THE TABLE CANDLES, AND PRESENT ONE OR TWO OF THE OTHERS TO MEMBERS WHO HAD BEEN ACTIVE IN THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH. THE REST OF THESE CANDLES WERE PUT UP TO A BLIND AUCTION TO THE PARISHIONERS. SOME OF THE EXISTING PARISHIONERS HAD BEEN CHRISTENED OR MARRIED IN THAT CHURCH SO THERE WAS A STRONG SENTIMENTAL INTEREST IN OWNING THESE HISTORIC CANDLESTICKS AND THE AUCTION RAISED A SUM OF £460.00 FOR THE CHURCH. A NOTE OF THANKS WAS SENT BY THE CHURCH TO GEORGE AND HAMESH FOR CREATING THE BEAUTIFUL CANDLESTICKS.

war & water 1945

FROM IAN LIMB, PORTSMOUTH WATER

the role Portsmouth water played leading up to and during ww2 AS OUR NATION HAS REACHED KEY ANNIVERSARY MILESTONES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE INTEREST IN THE HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND THE SACRIFICES AND ACHIEVEMENTS MADE BY SO MANY OF OUR PEOPLE AT THAT TIME HAS NEVER BEEN STRONGER. THE ROLE PORTSMOUTH WATER PLAYED DURING THE WAR ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE PIVOTAL ROLE THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH PLAYED HAS BEEN OF INTEREST TO ME FOR MANY YEARS. DURING SOME RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS, WHILST LOOKING THROUGH OUR OWN ARCHIVES, A SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL PUBLICATION ENTITLED “WAR AND WATER” PRODUCED IN 1945.

I THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME INTEREST IN THIS INFORMATION SO DECIDED TO PRODUCE THE PUBLICATION AGAIN.THE TEXT HAS DELIBERATELY NOT BEEN CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL WORDING BUT WE HAVE ADDED PHOTOGRAPHS FROM BOTH OUR OWN ARCHIVES AND OUR FRIENDS AT THE PORTSMOUTH NEWS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE TEXT. THE PUBLICATION DETAILS EVENTS INVOLVING PORTSMOUTH WATER IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO AND DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR INCLUDING THE PREPARATIONS FOR “D-DAY”. FOR EXAMPLE, THE EXCERPT BELOW DETAILS THE COLLABORATION REqUIRED BETWEEN ARMY PERSONNEL AND THE COMPANY TO ENSURE WATER SUPPLY WOULD BE PLENTIFUL FOR THE MASSING TROOPS PREPARING TO INVADE FRANCE. AS THE RISK OF INVASION “INWARDS” RECEDED, SO THE PREPARATIONS FOR INVASION “OUTWARDS” GRADUALLY DEVELOPED. IT WAS FULLY EXPECTED THAT “D-DAY” FOR THE INVASION OF FRANCE, WHEN IT CAME, WOULD PROVOKE A VIOLENT ENEMY REACTION. MOST OF THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO MEET THE AIR-

RAID CONTINGENCIES WERE THEREFORE KEPT IN BEING AND THE COMPANY’S EMPLOYEES TOOK PART IN LOCAL EXERCISES ORGANISED BY THE GARRISON COMMANDER, PRIMARILY TO ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED TROOP MOVEMENTS. A LARGE NUMBER OF MILITARY TRANSIT CAMPS WERE SET UP IN THE WOODS AND COPSES IN THE OUTLYING DISTRICTS FOR WHICH TEMPORARY WATER SUPPLIES WERE INSTALLED; NUMEROUS ROADSIDE WATER POINTS WERE ALSO PROVIDED THE PUBLICATION DESCRIBES HOW PREPARATIONS WERE BEING MADE NEARLY 5 YEARS BEFORE THE OUTBREAK OF WAR TO ENSURE THAT THE STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT CITY OF PORTSMOUTH WAS ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE AFTERMATH AIR RAID ATTACKS AND PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE ENEMY INVASION. WHILST MOST PUBLICATIONS DEAL WITH THE ACTIONS AND SACRIFICES OF THOSE IN ACTIVE MILITARY SERVICE, THIS PUBLICATION REMINDS US OF THE GREAT EFFORTS MADE BY THOSE WHO STAYED AT HOME; FROM A PORTSMOUTH WATER PERSPECTIVE IT ILLUSTRATES HOW OUR EMPLOYEES PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER BY ENSURING WATER WAS SUPPLIED THROUGHOUT THE CONFLICT OFTEN WHILST BOMBS WERE STILL FALLING.TWO MEMBERS OF STAFF PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE WHILST DOING jUST THAT. IT IS HOPED THAT PEOPLE WILL FIND THIS CHRONICLE OF SECOND WORLD WAR EVENTS THROUGH THE EYES OF PORTSMOUTH WATER OF INTEREST. THE FULL PUBLICATION IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD FROM OUR WEBSITE AT WATER SUPPLY TO BOMB DAMAGED HOMES WWW.PORTSMOUTHWATER.CO.UK.

YES - Young Explorers Squad

much

morethan

In July 2018 Postcode Publications provided funding to Park Community School to be able to offer additional extra opportunities and experiences to students outside of the school day.

This has proved extremely popular with students and at weekends Mr Roberson and staff volunteers go out and about.

Very early on we realised that several of the trips would be repeated to give more students the chance to go. Students ask to go and staff also recommend those they think might get the most benefit. Trips give students the chance to mix across years and with those they might not normally talk to.

just a school

We strongly believe in our motto that we are ‘much more than just a school’ and it becomes harder to achieve this with increasing costs, reducing school budgets and the emphasis on GCSE exam results.

As a result of the funding received from Postcode Publications we can provide a wide range of experiences. Students are learning many ‘soft skills’ that often we take for granted.

Thank you Christopher Anders, Headteacher

Student A: “I had never been on a train and so I learnt how you get the tickets, how it goes through the machine and out just to go to where the train would come in. Mr Roberson showed us where it told you which train was coming so we didn’t get on the wrong one”.

YES Trips

Young Explorers Squad Trips

Park Community School and Postcode Publications

Working in partnership providing extracurricular opportunities to expand or increase: • Student’s cultural capital • Student’s wellbeing • Team building • Autonomy and resilience

YES – Young Enterprise Squad

The decision on where to go was based on requests by students and teaching staff. They have travelled by train and minibus to many places, including:

• London – Tour Bus and viewed all of the sights – walked along the South Bank and then onto Trafalgar Square • Bournemouth – Visited Rock Reef Activity Centre and went on the zip wire over the sea and took part in a clip and climb session. Spent time walking along the beach.

• Portsmouth Dockyard – did the complete tour and spent time in the Action Stations and then walked to Gunwharf and all had a meal together.

• Top Spot Snooker Hall – spent a very competitive morning together thinking about teamwork and lifestyle attitudes.

• Peter Ashley Activity Centre – took part in team building activities, laser quest, climbing, archery, problem solving and assault courses.

• London – Houses of Parliament, learning about the three different areas of parliament, enjoying a walk along the Thames and a visit to the London Eye

‘The more you see the more you can aspire to be’.

To date we have had over 50 students join us on our YES trips which are on Saturdays.

Our motto is ‘we are defined by what we see’ so we take children out of their comfort zones and show them as many things as we possibly can.

• Brighton – went up the BA i360 and visited the Brighton Pavilion

YES trips are vital in that they encourage students to think out of the box, look to their future and know that there is more to England. At Park, we don’t just talk about it. We do it. This is one of the many reasons why we’re ‘much more than just a school’.

Mr Roberson

We estimate we have funding in place to continue for another 30 trips.

For all trips the students are asked to pay a contribution towards cost, with a minimum suggested donation between £3 and £10 depending where they are going. This encourages an appreciation of cost.

We also ask students on some of the trips to bring money to go to a restaurant to have lunch. This is so they sit together, converse and be brave enough to try items on the menu they may not have experienced before.

students benefited

We are fortunate to have our Apex Construction Centre in which an area has now been created for our young people to be able to work and meet.

Together we have experimented and produced some sample ideas for us all to see what is involved. It has been a journey of discovery.

Student Comments: ‘On the YES trip I had fun when they upgraded us to first class on the train!

We took a trip around the Houses of Parliament and had a 90 minute audio tour which was very interesting’.

Megan

Supported by several staff members with a range of skills the squad can learn all of what they need to make YES a great success.

The squad have already experimented and produced several prototype products, including a river table, picture frames and mirrors.

‘I found the trip very exciting. It made me feel independent as I was far away from home. The trips are a good opportunity to see new things and for my future and Mr Roberson is really funny’.

Lewis

From Summer 2019 we anticipate having a regular group of children working both within the school day and after school and building a small enterprise. They will be learning about: • Researching what the products should be?

• Who will be our customers?

• Product saleability?

• Can we make it? What skills do we need to learn?

• Production costs and retail pricing?

As a result of the funding we have received we have been able to provide a wide range of experiences for our students, ones that they would not ordinarily have been able to have, so increasing their ‘cultural capital’.

BUSINESS WHEN THE IDEA WAS BORN, TO START AN EVENTS COMPANY OF THEIR OWN. THE LADIES ALREADY HAD A PLETHORA OF USEFUL BUSINESS CONTACTS AND SOME EXPERIENCE IN THE EVENTS FIELD BETWEEN THEM, SO IT WAS THE START OF A GREAT NEW VENTURE. “WE WANTED TO CREATE EVENTS WHERE WE COULD PROMOTE WHAT WE DO WITH FM WORLD BUT ALSO ALLOW OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES TO PROMOTE WHAT THEY MAKE, SELL OR DO.” HAYLEY STEPHEN. THE EPIC EVENTS TEAM AIM TO KEEP THE STALL COSTS VERY COMPETITIVE AND WORK CLOSELY WITH BUSINESSES IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE THEIR EVENTS. “WHEN SOMEONE BUYS SOMETHING FROM A LOCAL BUSINESS, THE OWNER DOES A HAPPY DANCE!” COLEEN JACKSON THERE ARE A VARIETY OF STALLS AT EACH OF THE EVENTS THE EPIC EVENTS TEAM ORGANISE AND THEY ENSURE THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY OF THE SAME THING, TO ALLOW THE MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TO THE BUSINESSES WHO ARE INVOLVED. “WE HAVE SO MANY EXCITING THINGS IN THE PIPELINE FOR THE FUTURE, WE ARE CONSTANTLY BUZZING WITH IDEAS AND WE ARE HOPING TO DONATE SOME MONEY TO CHARITY FROM OUR FUTURE EVENTS.

If we could talk to the animals…

MOST OF US WANT TO BE THE HAPPIEST AND HEALTHIEST WE CAN. WHO ON EARTH WOULD WISH THAT THEY WERE SICKER AND MORE MISERABLE? THE qUESTION IS THIS: IF WE HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN HEALTH CARE THAN WE HAD A GENERATION AGO, WHY IS CHRONIC ILLNESS ON THE INCREASE? WHY DOES EVERY SPECIES ON EARTH (UNLESS WE HAVE RUINED THEIR HABITAT) EXPRESS BETTER HEALTH AND HAVE LESS CHRONIC ILLNESS THAN THE HUMAN

SPECIES? WHAT ARE HUMANS DOING DIFFERENTLY TODAY COMPARED TO A FEW DECADES AGO THAT IS RESULTING IN DECLINING HEALTH IN INFANTS, CHILDREN, THE MIDDLE AGED AND THE ELDERLY? HEALTH REALLY IS SIMPLE. OTHER SPECIES REMAIN HEALTHY BECAUSE THEY FOLLOW THE BIOLOGICAL LAWS THAT GOVERN HEALTH. THEY LIVE IN WAYS THAT MATCH THE HABITAT AND LIFESTYLE REqUIREMENTS WRITTEN IN THE DNA FOR THEIR SPECIES. THEY CONSUME THE NUTRIENTS WHICH ARE RIGHT FOR THEIR SPECIES. FOR EXAMPLE, HORSES EAT GRASS AND LIONS EAT MEAT. IF YOU

SWAPPED THEIR DIETS OVER OR FED THEM A LOT OF PROCESSED FOOD CONTAINING SUBSTANCES THAT THEIR BODIES HAVE NOT EVOLVED TO DIGEST, THEY WOULD NOT THRIVE. ANIMALS MOVE OR EXERCISE IN THE WAY THAT IS RIGHT FOR THEM. SOME ARE CONSTANTLY MOVING, SUCH AS BIRDS AND FISH, WHEREAS SLOTHS MOVE A LOT LESS. SOME SOCIAL ANIMALS REqUIRE THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS AND LIVE IN FAMILY GROUPS WHEREAS OTHERS ARE SOLITARY MOST OF THE TIME. SO WHAT DO HUMANS REqUIRE TO STAY HEALTHY AND WHAT ARE THE BIOLOGICAL LAWS THAT WE SHOULD ABIDE BY? FIRSTLY, WHAT WE EAT OR DRINK WILL GOVERN THE WAY OUR BODY

PAGE: 28

FUNCTIONS. WHATEVER WE PUT INTO OUR SYSTEM IS EITHER GOOD FOR US OR BAD FOR US. OUR BODIES HAVE EVOLVED OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS TO EAT FRESH FRUIT, VEGETABLES, NUTS, SEEDS, BERRIES, MEAT, EGGS AND FISH. WE ARE NOT EqUIPPED TO DIGEST THE TOXINS WHICH ARE FOUND IN PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, PRESERVATIVES, COLOURINGS, HORMONES, ANTIBIOTICS. OUR BODIES CANNOT COPE WITH THE EXCESS FAT, SUGARS, CHEMICALS AND ADDITIVES FOUND IN PROCESSED FOOD AND READY MEALS. TEA, COFFEE, ALCOHOL AND FIZZY DRINKS CONTAIN CHEMICALS SUCH AS CAFFEINE, WHICH ARE TOXIC TO THE BRAIN AND NERVES. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PETS IF YOU FED THEM THE SAME FOOD THAT MANY OF US CONSUME? YET MANY PEOPLE THINK IT’S FINE TO GIVE CHILDREN COLA AND SWEETS THAT THEY WOULD NEVER GIVE TO THEIR DOG. HUMANS USED TO BE NOMADIC AND WOULD USUALLY WALK UP TO TEN MILES EVERY DAY LOOKING FOR FOOD. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE SIT IN AN OFFICE AND DRIVE EVERYWHERE, WE ARE NOT MOVING ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH AS OUR BODIES REqUIRE. IT’S MADNESS TO THINK THAT

SOME PEOPLE WILL TAKE THE DOG FOR A WALK EVERY DAY, BUT LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN AT HOME PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. THE CORRECT TYPE OF EXERCISE IS ESSENTIAL FOR NORMAL GROWTH AND GOOD HEALTH. FINALLY, WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR HEAD CAN EITHER MAKE YOU SICK OR WELL. HOW YOU THINK GOVERNS HOW YOU BEHAVE, AND HOW YOU BEHAVE GOVERNS THE BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS IN YOUR BODY. TOO MANY STRESS HORMONES SUCH AS ADRENALINE AND CORTISOL IN YOUR TISSUES LEAD TO CHRONIC ILLNESS OF ALL TYPES. IF YOU ARE FEELING UNDER PRESSURE, FINDING WAYS TO DESTRESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD HEALTH. LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION CAN BE AVERTED BY MAKING THE EFFORT TO MIX WITH OTHERS, SINCE HUMANS ARE SOCIAL ANIMALS WHO NEED EACH OTHER. IN SHORT, IN ORDER TO BE HEALTHY WE NEED TO EAT WELL, MOVE WELL AND THINK WELL. IT’S UP TO YOU AND IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO MAKE CHANGES! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WAYS YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH, PLEASE CONTACT SHEILA STAKIM AT EMSWORTH CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, 27 NORTH STREET, EMSWORTH. 01243 373721.

volunteers ensure we carry on camping A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW VOLUNTEERING IN THE COMMUNITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE WAS DEMONSTRATED BY A TEAM OF EMPLOYEES FROM WäRTSILä U.K. LTD, A COMPANY BASED IN HAVANT.YMCA FAIRTHORNE MANOR IS A UNIqUE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY CENTRE SET IN APPROX 83 ACRES OF BEAUTIFUL CURDRIDGE COUNTRYSIDE. FAIRTHORNE HOSTS A HUGE RANGE OF INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES TO POSITIVELY ENGAGE CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS. HAVING SUCH A LARGE AREA TO COVER, VOLUNTEERS ARE PARTICULARLY WELCOME AT YMCA FAIRTHORNE TO HELP WITH THE SMOOTH RUNNING OF THE SITE. THEREFORE, FOR A DAY AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY, A GROUP OF FOURTEEN VOLUNTEERS FROM WäRTSILä GAVE UP THEIR TIME TO UNDERTAKE SOME ESSENTIAL TASKS. THE TEAM WERE SPLIT INTO GROUPS AND WERE ASKED TO HELP SET UP THE LARGE CANVAS TENTS THAT FAIRTHORNE USE TO ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS

GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. BETWEEN THEM, THEY MANAGED TO SET UP AND COVER 40 TENTS, A HUGE TASK THAT FAIRTHORNE UNDERTAKE AT THE START OF EVERY SUMMER SEASON. JO PIKE SAID, “THE SUPPORT FROM WäRTSILä REALLY HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY ETHOS. HAVING THE ENTHUSIASTIC TEAM HAS TURNED A TWO-WEEK jOB INTO A ONE-DAY jOB THUS ALLOWING OUR STAFF TO CONCENTRATE ON OTHER PRESSING TASKS AROUND THE SITE. WE WOULD LIKE TO PASS OUR THANKS TO WäRTSILä FOR GIVING UP THEIR TIME FOR US AT FAIRTHORNE.” KEN A VOLUNTEER FROM WäRTSILä SAID, “THE TEAM HAVE REALLY ENjOYED TODAY AT FAIRTHORNE MANOR. IT HAS BEEN SO WELL ORGANISED AND A REAL EYE-OPENER TO SEE HOW MUCH IS INVOLVED RUNNING THE CENTRE AND A REAL PRIVILEGE TO CONTRIBUTE AND BE PART OF THE GREAT WORK THAT THEY DO HERE AT YMCA. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT WAY FOR US TO GET

THE TEAM FROM WäRTSILä U.K. LTD AT YMCA FAIRTHORNE MANOR

TOGETHER FOR A TEAM-BUILDING DAY AND GET TO INTERACT WITH OUR COLLEAGUES THAT WE WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK TO.” WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF LOCAL BUSINESSES, MANY CHARITY AND COMMUNITY GROUPS WOULD
