Hello and Welcome Summer has arrived (or so they say…) and it’s time for country fairs, shows and open gardens. One of the most interesting events in June is The National Gardens Festival Scheme, which sees thousands of private gardens open throughout the UK in aid of charity. We’ve put details on page 78, and in with our what’s on listings is a selection of a few that might be of interest. Our front cover of The Dower House in Winchester is just one of these – wish my garden looked like that!

We’ve been particularly busy with the magazines this year – we have eight in total now – so I’m really looking forward to taking a break in July. Of course it means working twice as hard both before and after the holiday but it is worth it.

My teenage children, on the other hand, told me this week that by the middle of June they would have finished school/college. That’s 11 weeks till the school year starts again. That’s far too long with nothing to do (in my opinion, not theirs needless to say). I was brought up

with a strong work ethic so I shall be lining up jobs for them. And if that’s not a good enough incentive for them to find paid employment, I don’t know what is! Of course I know that jobs for teenagers aren’t that easy to find, but as an employer myself here’s a couple of tips to pass on if you are in the same boat: their application in writing needs to be properly written – no text language; making a phone call will get a better result than an email; ask again and again – he (or she) who shouts loudest gets the most attention.

And above all, if they are old enough to work, they are old enough to apply in person – getting Mum or Dad to ask isn’t going to get them to the top of the list.

DISCOVER SHORT STORY

Short Story

The Crab Sandwich

The beach was a well kept secret. On a day like today, other beaches would be teeming with holiday makers, but this secluded cove, a hike across grassy dunes, was known only to the locals.

Barry stood, hands on hips, breathing in the fresh sea air.

“We have the beach to ourselves, Daffers”, Barry called. “Nothing but us, the surf, the seagulls and delicious crab sandwiches”.

Daphne was panting from the weight of the picnic hamper and bruised from the deck-chair banging against her shin. Barry had insisted they bring them, but was unable to help carry due to a nasty back strain. By the time she reached the beach Barry had sandals off and was paddling in the surf.

“Just set up anywhere”, he said. “I wish we’d bought a bucket and spade now”.

Daphne doubted she could have carried another thing.

“Wouldn’t digging be bad for your back?”

“Oh yes”. Barry rubbed his back thoughtfully.

Daphne battled to erect the deckchair while Barry watched. Then he eased himself down into it.

“Ready for a spot of lunch?” He opened the hamper. “I couldn’t resist the crab sandwiches from that new delicatessen”.

Barry took out the sandwiches wrapped in a paper bag. There was also a bottle of sparkling elderflower juice and several kilos of freezer packs.

“You had me lug all these?” Daphne said. “And what’s this?”

Underneath was a hardback novel.

“I fancied a spot of light reading”, Barry replied.

The book was at least 800 pages long. Daphne was too hot to argue; all she wanted was a nice cold drink.

“There’s only one glass”. She searched the hamper.

“Yes, I didn’t want to weigh you down. You don’t mind swigging from the bottle, do you Daffers?”

Daphne didn’t mind, though she objected when Barry used the handkerchief he’d been wearing on his head to wipe the bottle neck.

Daphne bit into her sandwich, then chewed thoughtfully. Her taste-buds debated what she was eating.

“Barry, there’s been a mistake. This is cottage cheese”.

He wiped the crumbs from his lips.

“Yes, I only had enough for one crab sandwich.

They’re pricey, and I thought we’d agreed you were watching your weight”.

Daphne fumed as she chewed on her tasteless sandwich, watching Barry savour every mouthful of his.

A seagull landed and strutted about in the sand close by.

“What a majestic creature”, Barry said. And Daphne had to agree that it was a beautiful bird. She was always amazed by how large seagulls were, and what intelligent eyes they had. The bird wandered a little closer.

“Shoo birdy!” Barry called. “Get your eyes off my crab sandwich”. The bird cawed and took to the sky.

“That showed him”, Barry smiled. He was about to take another bite when the bird returned, dive bombing straight for him. Barry yelped and dropped his sandwich. With practised speed the seagull picked up its prize and dashed away.

Barry leaped to his feet. Grabbing the hamper, he held it above his head and chased the bird towards the water. Daphne stared as Barry, without showing the slightest twinge in his back, threw the hamper at the bird, which, calmly spread its wings and flew into the sky, along with the crab sandwich.

Barry came stomping back towards Daphne.

“I blame tourists, they feed them chips and this is what happens”.

Daphne swallowed the last mouthful of her sandwich and nipped into the vacant deckchair.

“I totally agree with you”. She picked up the novel and turned to page one, “But, so lovely to see that your back has been fixed”.

Try Out Orienteering The sport of orienteering is fun for any age and ideal for families, beginners and the more experienced runners. Orienteering combines map reading skills while on the move to navigate from point to point on a set course.

Originally a training exercise in land navigation for military officers, orienteering has developed many variations. Among these, the oldest and the most popular is foot orienteering. Beginners and welcome as coaching and guidance is on hand. The Southampton Orienteering Club is holding two “Try It Outâ€? events in June. One at Fleming Park, Eastleigh on 8th June and on 22nd June at Itchen Valley Country Park both from 10am-12.30pm. Run round the course like a hare or walk around like a tortoise! Adults ÂŁ4. Juniors ÂŁ2. Call 07570 627 716 or go online www.southampton-orienteers.org.uk

Did you know there are an estimated 2 million stray cats in the UK? Females can be become pregnant again soon after giving birth (before weaning), so without intervention the UK cat population would soon be out of control.

Neutering both male and females cats is so important, not just for the purpose of birth control, but also for a multitude of health benefits and prevention of unwanted behaviour like spraying and fighting.

Cats can reproduce from as young as 4 months of age, hence we advise that cats are neutered between 4-6 months of age, depending on circumstances.

Here at Cats at Seadown neutering costs as little as £47.34 for a male and £65 for a female (conducted under general anaesthesia) including routine post-OP checks Certain Charities, such as Cats Protection League, offer financial assistance to help with the costs of neutering.

DISCOVER MOTORING

New Range Rover Sport: The Detail It was a case of double-oh-heaven for Land Rover at the New York Motor Show as it managed to steal the limelight for the launch of its new Range Rover Sport thanks to a rather special unveiling by none other than Daniel Craig. The Bond star helped the British manufacturer deliver the first car to the press launch in a live drive through the streets of Manhattan. The $1 million stunt saw sections of the city closed at rush hour and it had all the razzamatazz of the Oscars.

One of Land Rover’s most important models, the Sport has notched up nearly 304,000 worldwide sales since it arrived in 2005. Now, following the successful births of the Evoque and Range Rover, it’s the racy middle brother’s time to shine.

Based on the same aluminium platform as the Range Rover, but with 75 per cent of the parts changed, the Sport ushers in an Evoque-esque look, clever new technology, and some seriously impressive statistics.

Powering the top-of-the-range model is a 5.0-litre supercharged V8, producing 503bhp and 625Nm of torque. With a tuned exhaust system, it sounds incredible as it powers its way to 60mph in five seconds.

The popular SDV8 diesel unit also makes a welcome return. With 332bhp and a mighty 700Nm of torque, it can crack 60mph in 6.5 seconds. There are further diesel and petrol units to pick from, but of more interest is the hybrid which is set to arrive later this year and combines a 3.0-litre diesel engine with a 50kw battery, a big leap forward for the model.

Improvements have been made across the board. The new Sport is 33% lighter than its predecessor (that’s the weight of six average adults), the body is 25% stiffer and on average it’s 24% more efficient.

Clever new technology on the Range Rover

C A L L D I S CO V E R M AG A Z I N E S O N 02 3 8 02 7 6 3 61

Sport includes an iPhone and Android app that lets you connect with their car. It can guide you back to where you parked it, tell you how much fuel is left, file company car mileages via email and even alert you if it thinks it’s about to be nicked. The clever kit includes in-car wifi for up to eight devices, a tracking system to aid recovery and the ability to dial emergency services in the event of a crash and alert them of your location.

A camera on the front of the car reads road signs as you pass them, displaying speed limits and over-taking restrictions on the dash. There’s also a head-up display that shows speed and navigation instructions.

Parking scrapes can also be avoided with a warning system that tells you if a car is coming while reversing out of a bay and an alarm can tell you if you’re wading too deep in the water (a dip into anything over 850mm could result in big bills).

Larger families will be pleased to hear there’s now a seven-seat option too. The seats are only really for kids, but electrically rise and lower from the flat floor. The tailgate gets power while the doors now have a soft-close option.

Inside, the designers have worked hard to make it even more luxurious, with more metal on show and a higher, wraparound dash. The centre console is even chilled and fits a full bottle of champagne in it. There’s a 23-speaker stereo system and rear seat entertainment options too.

Pricing, as you’d expect, is rather premium.

The top-of-the-range supercharged V8 costs £81,550 with entry level models a “more affordable” £51,550. Time to visit the bank manager…because this is one highly desirable car.

Frustrated with how your PC or laptop is performing?

We regularly get customers contacting us reporting that the computer they purchased years ago has become very slow and almost unusable. Sometimes in desperation and on advice from a friend or even their telephone/ broadband provider, they have run their system install disk and wiped the machine clean.

The problem here is that whilst on occasion what is termed a format/reload is necessary in order to resolve system problems, it does wipe everything off of the hard drive, including all the saved documents such as letters, photographs and programs. But in the majority of cases it isn’t necessary to take that drastic a measure.

The reason systems become slow are varied but more often than not it is simply the result of an accumulation of temporary/junk files, redundant registry items and memory sapping software.

As each item of software updates (especially some internet security applications) the amount of disk space or memory required to run it gets more demanding and can end up making the system work much harder than it is capable of.

There are good and bad utilities available on the internet that promise to ‘speed up your PC’ but some are in fact riddled with malware – particularly where they are offered free of charge - and end up causing more problems than they are worth.

In over 90% of the cases that come into our workshop, we are able to carry out a cleanup of the system that the ordinary Windows tools fall short of. Also with RAM memory being so much cheaper, we can install additional modules to make the computer run much faster and more efficiently.

By removing memory hungry software and replacing it with leaner alternatives (often free)

it is possible to ease the burden on your system even further and there are other useful tips and measures that can make a real difference to how your computer runs.

So if you are frustrated with how your PC or laptop is performing, just remember that from time to time we all need a bit of looking after or an energy boost and it doesn’t always mean that if your computer is running slowly then it has to be replaced.

Your Legal Options For Divorce Q: My husband and I have decided to divorce. I’ve never worked or handled any of our finances, feel completely out of my depth and am scared I am going to end up losing out. What can I do?

Claire, Hamble

A: To start with, Claire, you need to remember

two things. The first is that the main objective of the divorce process is for two people to leave a marriage of reasonable length as near as possible to the lifestyle they had when they were married.

The second is that it is not your responsibility to discover your husband’s financial information – there are professionals, procedures and laws that will do all that for you.

With a recent raft of cases being reported about wives being cheated out of their husband’s fortunes, I can see how outside information may be leaving you feeling vulnerable.

Scandalous cases such as that of oil tycoon Michael Prest who despite being ordered to pay £270,000 a year to his ex-wife Yasmin, is reportedly paying her just £150 a week because his money is being allegedly ‘hidden’ in offshore bank accounts, are very much the exception to the norm (that legal battle is said to have already cost £3 million in legal fees with accusations of Prest establishing a ‘cheat’s charter’ for divorcing husbands.)

Unless your husband is a multi-billionaire businessman, you should have no such worries, but I can tell from your question that you are feeling anxious and alone, so you must find help in managing your situation.

You need a matrimonial solicitor acting for you for two very important reasons. The first is to establish finances. You don’t say how long you have been married, or whether you have any

children, but these factors need to be taken into consideration when planning for the continued wellbeing of all members of your family.

Your husband needs to give details of what he earns, spends on the household and any debts from mortgages, loans or credit cards that have been incurred over the course of the marriage.

Attention will also be paid to your husband’s future prospects. Is he on a successful career ladder? Would the family have benefited from pay rises in the near future?

The other crucial issue is the fact that you do not work. Did you give up a career to be a wife and/or mother? Have you qualifications, skills or experience in a particular area? If you do have children, depending on their age and the care needed, what time will you have to be able to go back to work? I once acted for the mother of a disabled child who needed full time specialist care at home, which inevitable precluded her from being able to go out to work.

All these details need to be compiled, examined and presented, initially in mediation between you and your husband and potentially in court. It may seem intrusive, but all these matters are treated with the utmost confidentiality and need to be presented to anyone who has to make a decision about your future.

You will most likely find that once your solicitor has asked all these questions, gathered information and explained your position, you will be able to see more clearly and hopefully gain some confidence from the understanding of your situation. In cases such as yours, investing in legal advice is the best way to ensure that you get the life you are entitled after the end of a marriage because once an order is made, there is no going back.

DISCOVER LIFE BEGINS

Life Begins An Actor’s Life at Last...?

When 76 year old actress Patricia Loveland appeared in Dustin Hoffman’s recent film ‘Quartet’, it was a remarkable achievement for this former midwife, who signed up for drama school at the age of 60.

By Kate McLelland For many older people Patricia’s success will be the spur to launch their own professional stage careers. Others may be encouraged to join an amateur theatre group.

Peter Bressington helps to run the Lindley Players, an amateur theatre society with 350 members based in Whitstable, Kent. He says that the group is always looking to recruit members of all ages, but he is aware that many people are put off by open auditions: “If people are nervous about performing they can become involved in other ways, such as selling ice creams or painting scenery.”

In order to understand the level of commitment required, Pru Page, Club Secretary of Bocking Theatre Club in Essex, recommends that new members have their first experience of being on stage as part of the chorus of a pantomime or summer show: “New members should be prepared to learn lines and take part in regular rehearsals but some are shocked by the amount of time they have to dedicate to the production.”

Pru says that learning a theatre role can be stressful for older people, whose memories may not be as effective as they once were, but she believes that the more her members become used to it, the easier it becomes. She also recommends the social aspects of joining a theatre group: “I’ve met some of the best friends I’ve ever had through the club. Once you’ve shared a dressing room with someone – not to mention a few production disasters – you can’t help but become close.”

C A L L D I S CO V E R M AG A Z I N E S O N 02 3 8 02 7 6 3 61

If amateur theatre doesn’t appeal, or if you already belong to an amateur group and want to go professional, then what’s the best advice?

A course at an accredited drama school (list available from www.dramauk.co.uk) is probably the best option if you want to go professional.

Many drama schools will take mature students for courses that last between one and three years. During that time you will work intensively on voice production, movement and acting.

You’ll need an open mind and a willingness to step out of your comfort zone.

If student life is not for you, you can try approaching actors’ agents directly, but before you begin your search you will need a set of high-quality portrait shots. Be prepared for rejection unless you have a unique ‘look’ that lends itself to character roles. Even then you may find yourself auditioning for TV ads rather than strutting the stage at the National Theatre.

Those who are lucky enough to be taken on by a reputable agent can expect to pay commission of around 10%-12% on each job.

Actors usually have to pay their own travel expenses to attend auditions and purchase a subscription to online casting directory The Spotlight.

However, the performers’ union Equity claims that at least two-thirds of actors are out of work at any time. With so much unemployment in the performing arts, the dream of taking up a professional stage career can often turn to dust, so it’s reassuring to know there’s always a local amateur company ready to give you the chance to tread the boards.

DIS COV ER LO C AL WALK

Awbridge, Dunbridge & Mottisfont Walk Walk Distance 4.2 miles around 2 hours at a moderate pace A downloadable pdf of the walk and enlarged map is availabe at www.discovercommunity.co.uk

Historical Notes The lake at Awbridge Danes was excavated in the 1920s to provide work for the local unemployed, each man being paid one shilling (10p) a day and a loaf of bread.

Roman occupation of the area is confirmed by tiles, pottery and coins being found at Awbridge House, dating from the late roman period of AD 307. The names Danes Road and Awbridge Danes record the presence of Danish occupation of the area, possibly from the 11th or 12th centuries.

Mottisfont church is a Grade I listed building originally of 12th century origin that initially claimed pastoral responsibility for Mottisfont, Lockerley and Broughton. Its earliest parts predate Mottisfont Abbey.

Among its artefacts, the church contains a 17th century clock which has no face and no pendulum. Its movement derives its energy solely from hung weights and a bell is rung on the hour. Which hour is of course anybodies guess.

The modern road that runs between Awbridge, Lockerley, the Tytherleys, Broughton and the A30 was originally a turnpike {toll) road in the mid 18th century. Similarly, the short stretch of road from East Dean joining this road was also a toll road.

Professional Tree Surgery & Hedge Trimming Sound advice from Josh Laurence of J.L. Tree Care It is the time of year when we turn our attention once more to our gardens and trees. But does your tree have a TPO?

WHAT IS A TREE PRESERVATION ORDER?

Tree Preservation Orders, also known as TPOs were introduced in the late 1940s to enable Local Planning Authorities to protect important trees.

The orders can be made on single trees, groups of trees, areas of trees or whole woodlands. TPO laws prohibit the cutting down, uprooting, topping, lopping, wilful damage or wilful destruction of trees without prior consent from your Local Planning Authority.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHECK IF YOUR TREE HAS A TPO?

Pruning or cutting down protected trees without the appropriate consent can result in prosecution and a maximum fine of £20,000 for each offence.

If you are unsure if your tree has a TPO or if you are living in a Conservation Area, always check first with your local council.

Josh Laurence of J.L. Tree Care Proficiency Test Council Certificate). You could even ask to see the Contractors NPTC card which is proof of competency in a range of skills, including the safe use of chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders, tree climbing and aerial rescue.

Choosing a Tree Surgeon wisely will result in your trees being safely and expertly kept in top condition.

Josh Laurence, J.L Tree Care ‘Professional Tree Surgery & Hedge Trimming’ Tel: 02380 862975 / 07919886166

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR TREE DOES HAVE A TPO?

You can usually still carry out work to your tree as long as you first submit a written application to the Authority. These application forms, along with helpful guides are found on your local council’s websites.

After you have submitted your application the council will view the tree and make a decision within 6-8 weeks, informing you what work is permitted or not.

A good Arborist will guide you through the process of TPO applications, advising on the correct terms and tree surgery methods required, increasing the likelihood of you receiving prompt permission from your local authority.

CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL TREE SURGEON

Tree surgery is a highly skilled and dangerous operation, don’t be tempted to do the work yourself, invest in employing a professional Arborist (Tree Surgeon). Ensure you choose an experienced and insured contractor who is fully qualified in Arboriculture, holding a NPTC (National We b: d i s c o v e r m a g a z i n e s .c o .u k , S a l e s : ke v i n @ d i s c o v e r m a g a z i n e s .c o .u k

DISCOVER WINCHESTER HAT FAIR

Winchester Hat Fair Winchester’s ancient city centre is soon due its annual influx of street performers for the Winchester Hat Fair on Friday 5th to Sunday 7th July. It was first held in 1974, when mime artist Jonathan Kay, inspired by the traditions of Attica in Ancient Greece where theatre was a source of community culture and pride, brought a group of buskers to the city from Covent Garden to perform. It was initially unpopular with both the business community and the council however now, nearly 40 years later, it is England’s longest running festival of street arts and outdoor performance. It attracts a multitude of artists from all around the world and captive audiences of 40,000, making it one of the most eagerly anticipated events on Winchester’s calendar.

The name originates from the earliest performers of the Fair - jesters, clowns, jugglers and other artists who didn’t charge for their shows, but simply put their hat out in hope of a small donation. Indeed, all these years later, the spirit of the Hat Fair still lies in providing street performers with the opportunity to enjoy a welcoming audience, a favourable setting and a possible fee. ‘Hatters’, as they’ve become known, fill the streets to present us with hundreds of performances ranging from beautiful to breathtaking.

The Hat Fair isn’t just about the performers however. It’s about demonstrating how much enjoyment and life street performance can bring to a city. And Winchester, with its medieval history and traditions steeped in revelry, is a perfect example. In the late 11th century for 400 years, Winchester was host to the largest fair in Europe. Beginning on the Feast of St

Picture Credit - Peter Facey Giles in late August and finishing 16 days later, it attracted people from across Hampshire. All other trade in Winchester stopped during the fair and revenues were given to the Bishop rather than the King. St Giles Hill as the site is now named, can be found east of the town.

This year, the organisers have promised that the Fair will be ‘bigger, better and bouncier than ever before’. Along with the performances in popular Winchester locations, there will also be a ‘Hidden Hat Fair’ where performers will be using spaces never before used to delight and thrill their audiences. Children will be made to feel especially welcome with a number of events throughout the weekend including ‘Schools Day’ on Friday, when 1000 children in colourful costumes will walk through the city to the grounds of Winchester Cathedral to enjoy circus and craft workshops and outdoor theatre.

This year’s Hat Fair is coming soon - for all the latest information and updates, visit their website www.hatfair.co.uk or follow them on Twitter @HatFair

Bugs and Beasties

by Pippa Greenwood Bugs and beasties are really thriving in this warmer weather, so just how should you deal with the most common problems you are likely to encounter at this time of year?

Aphids Greenfly and blackfly, also known as aphids, can be a real menace as they suck sap from your plants and sometimes even transmit viruses at the same time. Aphids breed incredibly rapidly, so regular control is necessary or one or two individuals will turn into a huge colony.

• Check plants regularly and either spray with a suitable insecticide or if you prefer not to use this type of chemical then consider spraying with a soap or plant oil based insecticide • Use biological controls – they’re a great way to deal with these pests, totally safe for all other creatures and of course leave no residues • Use a strong jet of water (perhaps by putting your thumb over the end of the hosepipe) to blast the aphids off plants, but do make sure that you do a thorough job or else they will soon be back up and causing damage Caterpillars Caterpillars come in all shapes, sizes and colours, but can do a lot of damage as they munch their way through your plants and perhaps even into your vegetables.

• Hand pick the pest where possible and either squash or place on the bird table. Remember many caterpillars feed in the evening, so they are easiest to spot at dusk or very early in the morning.

• Spray with a suitable contact insecticide

58

C A L L D I S CO V E R M AG A Z I N E S O N 02 3 8 02 7 6 3 61

or better still use the Nemasys Caterpillar biological control. This latter control is the favoured option for organic gardeners who can’t solve the problem purely with hand picking.

• Some caterpillars, in particular the Tortrix Moth produce quantities of fine webbing which they use to bind leaves or other plant parts together to create particularly safe shelters for themselves. These types can be especially difficult to control as it is hard for a pesticide to actually reach them. Hand picking or squashing is often the best answer.

• Cover caterpillar-susceptible crops such as calabrese, broccoli and other brassicas with Envirofleece or Enviromesh. This will help to keep a wide range of pests, including caterpillars away from the plants.

Woodlice Woodlice often cause a lot of concern, particularly if you find them lurking in and around sickly looking plants in your greenhouse. However, these little creatures are rarely responsible for doing that much damage in their own right as they simply do not have adequately strong mouthparts. This means that although they can indeed cause damage to soft new growth or occasionally to soft-fleshed fruits such as strawberries, they are not actually able to tackle tougher plant growth. You may, however, see them at the ‘scene of the crime’ and presume that they have caused the initial damage but they have probably moved in to clean up a lot of the debris created by other creatures. ...Continued on page 60

Earwigs Earwigs do cause quite a bit of damage, particularly on the flowers of plants such as clematis and dahlias, where they can nibble out large quantities of petal or occasionally leaf, leaving the plants looking decidedly moth eaten. One of the best ways of trapping earwigs is the traditional method using an inverted flowerpot on top of a bamboo cane.

The bamboo cane and pot should be positioned amongst susceptible plants and the pot needs to be stuffed loosely full of hay, straw or similar material. The earwigs climb in there to hide and the pots can them simply be emptied out on a regular basis.

Mildew It’s not only pests that are a problem at this time of year, but powdery mildew soon takes hold, coating plant leaves, stems, buds and sometimes even petals with a white floury deposit. Sometimes the mildew can also prevent fruits from swelling normally and cause the leaves to become distorted and in some instances even to fall early. Prompt

action is essential and if you wish you can use a proprietary fungicide but check the label carefully for suitability.

Keep the damage to a minimum in the first instance by ensuring that the plants are kept well watered; plants which are dry around the roots seem to be particularly prone to mildew attack. In addition try to ensure a good flow of air around the plants as stagnant, moist air seems to have a similar effect and can make matters worse very quickly. A bit of careful pruning or weeding often solves the problem.

DISCOVER LOCAL NEWS & VIEWS

News from

Chandlers Ford and Winchester MP Steve Brine

There has been renewed debate in recent weeks as to whether there IS such a thing as society; most of it in the wake of Baroness Thatcher’s passing. This is odd, not least given the former Prime Minister never uttered such words but for the record, I (and she) know/knew there is. And if we ever needed proof, I always think we could do a lot worse than look very close to home here in my Winchester and Chandler’s Ford constituency.

One great example is a new group I have been helping, set-up to act as a forum for local parents with children on the autistic spectrum. The Winchester Autism Group (or W.A.G for short) is doing good things and providing support for a growing number of my constituents, including those from Chandler’s Ford. I joined them shortly after Easter for coffee to meet members and hear of their experiences with the education system and other public services.

If you think W.A.G can help you, please get in touch with them via www.facebook.com/ WinchesterAutismGroup The May local elections mean I have been out and about knocking on doors more than usual in my part of Chandler’s Ford, Hiltingbury and North Millers Dale and it’s been interesting to talk with constituents about the economy, Europe and a range of other national issues but the subject of rats is seemingly never far away. I am working hard liaising with Eastleigh Borough Council and the Water company on behalf of residents who have been in touch with me about this local menace. If you have a problem and can add to my evidence stack, please get in touch as this is genuinely upsetting a great many people and we need to stay on the case; steve.brine.mp@ parliament.uk Turning to Westminster and I am currently leading a big Parliamentary inquiry into breast cancer, its causes and effects as well as the

64

C A L L D I S CO V E R M AG A Z I N E S O N 02 3 8 02 7 6 3 61

way older women are handled when they are unfortunate enough to contract the disease. I am Chair of the All-Party Breast Cancer Group, which is one of the most active in Parliament. If you are affected or know someone who is by the condition, you may be interested to take a look at my special web-page www.stevebrine.com/ breastcancer via which you can also follow the progress of the inquiry.

Secondly, I held a special debate recently on the subject of police cautions for young people.

Of course I believe young people should be punished according to the rule of law, like anybody else, when they do wrong but how we respond to often low-level bad behaviour by youngsters has the potential to blight the rest of their lives by giving them a permanent black mark no matter how they have behaved before or since. Personally, I don’t think our country can afford to, in effect, put some young people on the scrap heap before they had ever had a chance and it seems the Government agrees with me – even if it was after a rather useful ruling from the courts! A change in the law is imminent and if I helped even a little bit, I am pleased.

Finally, I may see some of you at the Funtasia which returns to Fryern Recreation Ground on the afternoon of Monday 6th May. Please join me in keeping your fingers crossed for some sunshine as some of us are still drying out from last year!

Lots more going on - in the constituency and in Westminster – and you can catch-up on much of it via www.stevebrine.com.

Fête Accomplished The Hursley Village Fete promises to be a traditional fun day out for all the family. Held in the ground of John Keble School this is truly an event not to be missed. This year the fete, solely sponsored by Hamptons Estate Agents will be held on Saturday 22nd June from 11.30 to 3pm.

023 8055 8140 07921 121 544

We are excited to announce that Nick Spellman the “Animal 61 Stoneham Lane, Southampton SO16 2NZ Man” will be returning. He comes with an impressive client list including Gwyneth Paltrow, Hamley’s Toy Shop and The Natural History Museum to name but a few. Timeout London for Children Guide acknowledged independently that "...this is one of the top experiences in the capital for your children...”.

The Animal Man will be hosting two shows 12 pm and then 1.15pm. Each show lasts 45 minutes where adults and children will be introduced to amazing exotic animals such as lizards, snakes, spiders.

We also have a Fire Engine for the children to explore, 5-a-side football challenge. There will be face painting as well as the Keble Club stall, soft toy tombola, tin-can alley and the good old Tug o’ War plus the return of the hilarious and very messy blind-folded chocolate custard eating competition.

With so much excitement you will be able to relax with a bit of retail therapy with extensive range of stalls offering something to suit all pockets and ages including the very popular plant stall with its fantastic selection.

Or just relax with a cold glass of Pimms or a beer from our popular bar. Treat yourself to a delicious BBQ lunch followed by scrumptious strawberries and cream.

The entrance fee is still the same as last year at £1 per person with no charge for children and all monies raised will be split 55%-45% between the school and All Saints Church.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Derien is passionate about the latest conceptMinimally Invasive Dentistry, the modern medical approach to the management of decay. This type of dentistry is about stopping problems before they start and retaining as much tooth structure as possible.

New materials also allow us to repair teeth noninvasively in many cases.

Why not pop in and have a look at our practice, meet Derien and the team with no obligation.

DIS COV ER NATIONAL G ARDENS FE S TIVAL WEEK END

NATIONAL GARDENS FESTIVAL WEEKEND Private gardens across England and Wales will open their gates to the public during 15-16 June for the first ever National Gardens Festival Weekend. Set to be the largest garden visiting event in history, with 800 openings planned over the two days, the Festival is being organised by the National Gardens Scheme (NGS) and aims to raise £500,000 for nursing and caring charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Carers Trust.

Thanks to the hard work of garden owners and the enduring enthusiasm of visitors, the NGS has donated £25million to nursing and caring charities over the past 10 years and is Macmillan Cancer Support’s biggest ever donor. Over half a million people visited gardens opened in support of the NGS last year.

This year, for the very first time, the NGS has organised the National Gardens Festival Weekend and invited as many gardens as possible to open over the two days for a unique weekend of garden charity giving.

Traditionally one of the NGS’s busiest weekends, the 2013 dates also coincide with Father’s Day on Sunday 16 June.

George Plumptre, Chief Executive of The National Gardens Scheme, says: “We hope that the focus on this nationwide event will raise awareness of both the NGS and the charities we support with some £2.5m donated annually. We are aiming to raise £500,000 from the weekend to add to our fundraising from garden openings throughout the rest of the year.

Visiting a beautiful garden and stopping for some tea and cake is a really enjoyable way of raising money for charity and every year thousands of people do exactly that. On our Festival weekend we want lots more people to join them and help raise millions of pounds for our group of wonderful beneficiaries.”

All gardens opening during the National Gardens Festival Weekend are listed in the 2013 edition of 'The Yellow Book ’, amongst more than 3800 gardens open to the public on behalf of the NGS throughout the year.
