Hello Swanage!

June already… I do hope the warmer weather lasts into July and August. The sunshine seems to make such a lot of difference. We are off to Dartmoor for a few days this week which I am thoroughly looking forward to. Hayden is having swimming lessons and really enjoying it, so the pool will be a winner all round I think.

Gives me time to sit and have a coffee at the side!

We have a full Oracle for you this month with many local trades… plumbers, kitchens, live-in care, landscaping supplies, local restaurants, blinds, conservatories and many more. There are also some exciting events coming up too… The Sandbanks Beach Polo, a fantastic Speed weekend which we are going to see for the first time, a painting class and an open day at a quarry. There is also a map of many of the shops in Swanage.

Thank you to Mr Brian Barker, the President of The Swanage Chamber of Trade and Commerce, and Angela Sturch who drew the map in the centre pages!

Do mention The Swanage Oracle when calling any of the advertisers. This makes all the difference! There is a prize wordsearch and many other interesting articles to read inside. So why not pour yourself a good cup of tea or coffee and take an hour out?

The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Marion Robertson of D’Urberville Drive. Well done to you! Martin, Steve and I wish you a great month of June.

Very Best Wishes,

Debbie

WILKOMMEN RUDESHEIM Once again Swanage Town Twinning Association will welcome visitors from our Twin Town of Rudesheim am Rhein on their bi-annual visit to us starting Wednesday June 8th until Monday 13th. This year some 38 guests will be arriving by plane or their own transport.

This year is very special for our town as it's the 25th Anniversary of the Twinning Partnership. Amongst our members there are still some of the original Founder Members who initially explored many different towns in France and Germany to find one which seemed to be the most compatible. As both Swanage and Rudesheim relied heavily on tourism, and both have connections to the water, it was thought that these two towns would both have much to offer each other. While our other industries are quarrying and fishing, Rudesheim is surrounded by vineyards producing the most glorious wine, which we frequently sample when we visit while taking in the spectacular scenery of the Rheingau.

We are always very proud to show off our beautiful Isle of Purbeck, our visitors delight in it's pretty villages, Corfe Castle, breathtaking walks, our small coves etc.and, at the end of the day, a jar (or two!) at one of our friendly local pubs. So should you happen to meet any of our German

SO June 2011 page 6

visitors, please offer a hand in welcome and friendship as the main aim of our Association is to "Promote friendship and understanding between our two towns".

Should you wish to learn more about joining the Association, please contact our Chairman, Mike Stollery, via email at mikestollery@btopenworld.com or on 421492.

Besom in Purbeck Besom is an international Christian charity that acts as a middle man or bridge between people that are in need and people that are able to give. A besom is a brush or broom: the idea is to sweep away unnecessary suffering.

Quite often, people want to help but they don’t know how or who to help; other people can feel isolated with nobody to turn to when they are in need.

Besom encourages people from the local churches to be active together in the community.

The service provided is free, and relies upon generous donations of time, items or money. Besom can provide people on low incomes with all sorts of things, such as fridges, microwaves, chairs, beds, food and frying pans.

Anyone can get involved in a variety of ways. It might be just donating an item of furniture that you don’t need, or it could be helping to deliver a sofa. Other people donate money for Christmas food hampers, help with decorating and gardening or make use of their skills and talents in other ways.

We cannot always accept every item. Items donated need to be in good condition, upholstery must meet with the 1988 Fire regulations, and some items may be too big for the average home.

We are increasingly being trusted by the caring professions of Purbeck who refer potential recipients to us. These include the Social Services, the NHS, Churches, Citizens Advice Bureau, Hostels and the Purbeck Housing Trust.

People who have received include single mums, disabled people, people on low incomes, refugees, people with depression after redundancy and home carers.

We would like to encourage more people to help in any way that they can.

Swanworth Quarry Open Day, Worth Matravers Saturday 16th July - 10.00am-4.00pm Suttle Stone Quarries is opening its Swanworth Quarry to the public on Saturday 16th July, which promises to be a fascinating and fun day for all ages. There will be guided tours of the quarry, demonstrations and displays of equipment, an exhibition as well as a talk on both the history and future of this important Portland-Purbeck stone quarry which was recently acquired by Suttles.

Swanworth has been part of the Isle of Purbeck’s stone industry since the late 19th century and we hope the local community will take advantage of a unique opportunity to find out more about the stone extracted from here over the years as well as insight into the day-to-day workings of a quarry.

Refreshments will be available.

The Purbeck Association of The National Trust We aim to raise money for the National Trust and, like all the ‘Supporter Groups’ we do this while enjoying ourselves. We have talks, outings and social events. The talks and outings are fairly self-explanatory, but what about social events? Basically we aim to do something where members have a bit more of a chance to chat and get to know each other.

Our barbecue at Knoll Beach and our lunchtime fish & chips quiz have become annual favourites. Coming up later we have another of our themed meals (Greek this time), a tour of the RNLI headquarters, and a river trip.

There are about twenty supporter groups in Wessex, and last year between us we raised almost £100,000 for the National Trust, simply by having an enjoyable time. When people join they find we can be very sociable, as all new members are invited to a cream tea at Knoll Beach Discovery Centre (see picture). There they can meet the Committee, and learn about some of the things that have been done with the money we raise.

Our annual membership is great value at only £5, or £7.50 for a couple. If you’d like to get more out of your own National Trust membership (or your status as a Trust Volunteer) by joining us, call Membership Secretary Jay Burke on 423775 or see our website www.purbecknt.org.uk.

Supporting musicians through The Michael James Music Trust Established in 1981 in memory of the young organist and conductor Michael James BA, FRCO, to discover, promote, educate and support gifted young musicians.

Based in Wimborne Minster, the charity has its local representative as Brian Barker, proprietor of quaint and attractive Georgian Gems in Swanage High Street.

Since the Trust was established in 1981, over 550 students have been helped to reach their goals in the field of music, goals which they may not otherwise achieve.

The Trust is funded by annual concerts, by donations and personal covenants or capital gifts. If you would like to support the Trust or find out more please contact Brian at: Georgian Gems, 28 High Street, Swanage, BH19 2NU Tel: 01929 424697 Website: www.georgiangems.co.uk

Talking about wildlife with

Back to the seas of our grandparents’ days Right now, a network of Marine Protected Areas is being developed around our shores, with protection from the most damaging activities such as gravel extraction and scallop dredging. Most types of fishing, commercial and recreational activity will still be allowed, but there will be some new marine reserves, called Reference Areas, which will be protected from ALL damaging activities, giving them a chance to return to the rich seas of our grandparents’ days.

These highly protected Reference Areas, small though they will be, are vital to the success of the network as a whole. They allow wildlife within them to return to a near-natural state, acting as benchmarks for understanding how human activities affect marine life, showing us what a healthy and undamaged sea is like – something we can hardly imagine at the moment. Older Dorset residents remember seeing schools of harbour porpoise from Dorset’s cliffs and catching large angel shark and common skate, both of which are now critically endangered.

We hope that by s et t i n g a s id e s om e areas of the sea purely for wildlife we will see a return to the marine environment our greatgrandparents enjoyed.

If we are to halt the centuries-long decline in our seas we need to establish Reference

SO June 2011 page 22

Areas that are purely for the recovery of wildlife. They will undoubtedly affect some people who use the sea for their living or recreation and tough decisions will be needed. But if we do nothing, noone will benefit, least of all our local Dorset fishing communities. If we don’t act now there will be very little for our grand-children to enjoy.

To find out more about the campaign for M arine Protected Areas, incl udin g Reference Areas, both in Dorset and throughout the UK, visit our website www.wildlifetrusts.org and click on Living Seas. Look out for the Petition Fish campaign this summer at Dorset Wildlife Trust centres and events and sign a scale to show your support for marine wildlife.

It’s now or never for the future of our seas!

ROYAL MARINES MEMORIAL at EMMETTS HILL, DORSET The Memorial was initiated following the IRA attack on the Royal Marines Barracks Deal, home and training centre for the Royal Marines Band Service in September 1989.

The originator and organizer for the project was Colin Dishington, a Member of the Dorset Branch of the Royal Marines Association (RMA) (since renamed the Poole and District Branch).

A suitable site was chosen which overlooks a training area used by the Royal Marines (RM) both during WWII and since plus it fitted the beauty and tranquility required for the memorial location.

The land, which is within the boundary of the Enscombe estate, was freely given by the then owner David Scott (Lt Col Retd) and right of access to the site is written into the deeds of the tenant farmer. Details of the site are lodged and recorded with the estate land agents plus on the estate maps.

Design of the memorial and the wording for the memorial slab was carried out and discussed by the RMA. It was decided to add to the initial Deal inscription such it remembered RM’s lost in all the conflicts from 1945-1990 including the Middle and Far East, Northern Ireland and the Falklands because many Members of the RMA had served or lost friends during that period and in those conflicts. In 2006 a new stone was added to remember the ongoing losses of Royal Marines in current conflicts and sadly over the years to come as they strive to bring peace in this our troubled world.

The local quarry, owned by WJ Hayson & Sons which is ½ mile from the memorial was visited and the five large stones chosen as were the smaller ones for the bases and surrounds. The inscription and badge for memorial stone was cut

by Hoare Bank’s Stonemasons of Bournemouth.

With access to the site being across rough fields the quarry’s large fork lift was used to carry the main stones to the site, including the table which weighed ¾ ton, placing each stone on the prepared concrete foundation and bases. The foundations were dug by members of the RMA,

SO June 2011 page 26

the building work by ‘Danny’ Daniels RMA with a mason from the quarry assisting to place the stones themselves. Work was completed by August 1990.

Each year since the unveiling, a service has been conducted by the RMA at the memorial. The calls are sounded by a serving RM Bugler from the RM Band Service and rescue duties permitting, the Coastguard helicopter carries out a “flypast”, a custom carried on from when the Royal Navy helicopters were based at Portland.

The original three bar wooden rail fence has been replaced by a Purbeck stone wall to blend in with the stone walls of the area and gives better protection to the garden which is maintained by volunteers from the Poole and District RMA. As the site is on the main coastal path many people pause to look at the memorial or as a resting point on their walk to enjoy the views; to the west Portland, Lulworth Cove and the cliffs or bays used for RM training, south to the sea and our links with the Royal Navy plus St Aldhelms Head, east to Durlston Head with the Isle of Wight in the far distance whilst inland to the north the rolling Purbeck Hills and the villages of Kingston and Worth Matravers.

The ashes of RMA Members have also been scattered in the monument gardens and the families of those lost and resting elsewhere often visit the site, a truly peaceful and fitting memorial to the Members of the Royal Marines Family who have given their lives since WWII.

SWANAGE DISABLED CLUB Swanage Disabled Club have just had a new booklet produced - Dorset Disabled Clubs - which we hope will be yearly.This has been done after the closure last year of The Dorset Assoc. for the Disabled which covered the whole of Dorset. We felt there was a need to keep Dorset residents and visitors informed that there are still clubs for the Disabled in various areas and to enable these worthwhile associations to keep in touch with each other.

Many of them have now obtained their own Charity status (as have Swanage) and are going from strength to strength. Do look out for this publication in your local TIC, Dr's, Town Halls, Libraries etc.

Our Swanage sea-front stalls (weather permitting) in August are.....Wed. 10th....Thurs. 18th....Fri. 26th.

Interested in joining one of our clubs who meet on alternate Monday afternoons? Call Daphne Saville on 01929 425241 for further information.
