Hello Brockenhurst, Well we needed some rain but I think we got more than we bargained for! I’d like a little sunshine again now. I think you will agree.

There’s lots of local information this month and small articles for you to read, including news from Stag’s Head Antiques, a message from Oscar Pet Foods, a notice about The New Forest Show, Beaulieu Primary School have a little say, explore Moors Valley for free and the Brockenhurst Music Society present their calendar of events. All good news!

I am looking for local people’s celebrations so that we can wish you Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary or drool over the photo of your new baby. It will be a new feature in our next issue and could be a great way to wish someone a Happy Day! Also if you have a group or club you would like everyone to know more about please email your data to us. There may be many people who would love to know about you or can give some help. If you have done something good or really worth while I can also promote that for you too. We all like to hear good news! If you have any suggestions or ideas for these pages then please let me know.

In the meantime do keep our advertisers busy. They like that. Many are very happy with all the calls they get from you. The Brockenhurst Guide is definitely a great way to link local residents and trades people together.

Wishing you a great month of May… and may the sun shine!

Best Wishes,

Debbie Useful Numbers

A full rack at Stags Head Antiques Steve & Carolyn would like to offer a huge thank you to the residents of Lyndhurst and surrounding areas for the overwhelming welcome they have received since they opened Stags Head Antiques at 13 The High Street.

Carolyn said, "Everyone has been so friendly. We have been made to feel welcome by the hundreds of locals that have come into the shop for a look around or indeed to buy and sell goods.

We are completely overwhelmed! “Although we are in the tourist capital of the New Forest it was important to us to engage with the local community as this is where we aim to do the majority of our business throughout the year."

The shop offers a mix of good quality antiques and effects complimented by a good choice of contemporary and traditional furnishings and fine art spread over three floors.

Steve is the main buyer for the business with over 30 years experience in the world of antiques dealing in the local area, you can find him at the shop on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays or by appointment for a free no obligation appraisal of smaller goods you may be considering selling. Alternatively you can arrange a discreet home visit at a time convenient to yourselves.

Steve is constantly looking to purchase and specialises in good quality furniture and smaller items to include art, bronzes, clocks and silver, with antique oriental items a speciality.

TBG May 2012 page 6

The remainder of the week you will find Steve's wife Carolyn and his daughter, Rosie, available between 10am—5pm to assist with all of your purchasing or sales requirements.

Does pet food shopping make you dog-tired?

Oscar Pet Foods is a pet food delivery service.

Just think of it. No more lugging heavy bags or tins. No more sudden realisation that your cat needs feeding and the cupboard is bare. No more cramming screaming children into the car, to pop off to the local shops because you've forgotten you've run out of the dog’s favourite. The end of a day’s work could mean a relaxing evening, not a detour to the pet shop. Pet-owning senior citizens can rest easy and non-drivers needn’t bother with a bus trip. And the garage can go without another bag of money, for half a gallon of petrol.

The Oscar Pet Foods franchise is a leading nutritionalist and pet food supplier, offering free home delivery and personal pet advice on your doorstep.

TBG May 2012 page 9

Every customer receives a free taste trial, to ensure they are completely happy with the food, as well as advice about costs – for example, feeding a labrador with Oscar’s premium range is only 66p/day.

For more information, contact Clare Muir on 01590 681423 or visit the website at www.oscars.co.uk.

Oscar – much more than pet food.

A Galaxy of Driving Skills to be enjoyed at the New Forest Show The New Forest & Hampshire County Show is well known as an established and one of the best known venues for carriage driving, providing some of the best coaching and driving classes to be seen in the UK, and giving everyone the chance to view virtually everything for the horse and driver at one Show over the three days. They are such a spectacle to watch and parade a history of equine transport before your eyes.

A total of fifteen driving classes cover a huge range of carriages, breed of horses, styles and speed. On Tuesday the Show is particularly honoured to have so many rare trade carriage entries. These were the everyday workhorses of the last century and sadly many can no longer be seen. There is such a vast range to see – the butchers carts, that had to travel really fast because meat could not be refrigerated in those days; the Coster carts that transported the fruit and vegetables, flamboyant and colourful; the old milk floats of Benny Hill fame, where the horse was slow and steady (even though he was the fastest milkman in the west!) and knew the route as well as his master. A visual feast for everyone.

‘Majesty and Might’ can best describe the Heavy Horses, not only to be seen in the driving classes but also in the exciting Musical Drive where the intricacies of the interweaving of this horse power makes one g a s p w it h aw e a n d admiration combined with ‘heart in ones mouth’ emotions. This year it is expected that there will be the largest turnout for this in the history of this Drive, with 16 carriages taking

TBG May 2012 page 10

part. The New Forest & Hampshire County Show founded this magnificent spectacle which is now replicated all over the UK. They perform every day in the main East Ring.

The private driving classes, taking place on Wednesday, is perhaps the Ferrari of carriage driving - flamboyant, effervescent and full of fun. The original drivers could be likened to the teenagers of that world!

Thursday is a really busy day for the driving classes starting with the Hackney classes, followed by Coaching and Multiple classes with a marathon drive through the picturesque surrounding New Forest internal roads, returning to the show for the final of the horn blowing competition with the championship.

This has named only a few, so don’t miss out on all the other classes not mentioned here, such as the little ponies and traps and the fast and furious scurry driving and much more.

Every age group is fascinated with this important section of the Show.

The New Forest and Hampshire County Show will be held at New Park, Brockenhurst on Tuesday 24th to Thursday 26th July 2012. 20% off advance tickets are available online at www.newforestshow.co.uk. and from the Show Office on 01590 622409 until 11th July.

Storage Problems?

Easy Solutions!

Most people would agree that they always need more storage space than they have, but cannot do anything about it. However, sometimes the storage space is available, but because of the way a room is furnished, it is easy to lose this valuable space.

Free standing wardrobes can waste a lot of storage area, as well as creating a dust trap on the top, and who really wants to spend time vacuuming the top of a wardrobe!!

Because fitted furniture incorporates every inch of space into useful storage, you don’t lose any valuable storage areas and you don’t have any open tops to collect dust.

It doesn’t matter how small or awkward the space is. At Custom World, your furniture is completely custom made, which means our Designer will work with you to create your unique storage solution which will fit perfectly in your room.

You can complement your fitted wardrobes with bedside units and chests of drawers all made to whatever size you require and you can choose from a wide variety of designs and colours.

Your furniture will be manufactured by our team of skilled joiners and fitted by our professional team of in-house fitters.

So if you are fed up with wasted space, telephone us on 01202 896816 to arrange for one of our Designers to visit you for a free, no-obligation appointment. You can discuss ideas and get a quote without any pressure.

Many of our satisfied customers tell us they had not considered fitted furniture before because they thought it would be too expensive. They are surprised at the amount of storage you can get at a very affordable price – we are sure you will be too!

ALL WELCOME AND THE DAY IS FREE!

The Master Builders Hotel hosted a ‘biscuit making’ afternoon for four children from the Beaulieu Primary School. One child was chosen from each class for a variety of reasons and they had a wonderful time with Head Chef Adam Duebel, and went away the proud owners of the decorated biscuits they made that day.

The Club is situated at the end of Brookley Road Car Park. If you can't come on the day, but would still like to 'have a go' or require further in for ma tion , p lea s e co n tact th e Secretary: Derek Place 01425 473855.

The Master Builders Hotel support Beaulieu Primary School in a number of ways. Every time a child eats at the Hotel, 50p is donated to the School.

Other activities include – decorating the Christmas trees in the Hotel, helping with a Family Food & Drink Festival to raise money for the school on the weekend of June 30th — July 1st this year, and offering to host any other activities during the school year.

Pull the other one…

FOR SALE - nine 7-week-old chickens, would sell mother too, if needed.

Over the rally course the object is to average 3 mph to show that a caravan doesn’t slow you down.

Mr S. said he would take up his duties as soon as the council could find him a house.

The committee decided, on recommendation of the surveyor, to place a manhole at the corner of Chase Road.

Owing to the disastrous fire, the Grange Hotel has temporarily moved to Greyfields Manor Hotel, where the reception will be even warmer.

Explore Moors Valley – for free!

Anyone who has ever wondered what goes on in the depths of Moors Valley Country Park and Forest near Ringwood can find out on Wednesday 20 June when local people are invited to visit, see what’s new and try out some of the Park’s many attractions free-of-charge.

From 4-7pm visitors will be able to park their cars for free and sample some of the great activities and facilities that Moors Valley has to offer. Go Ape will be offering complimentary Segway taster sessions for anyone interested in trying out the latest mode of electric transport. For just £1 you will be able to explore the tracks and paths on one of the Park’s hire bikes. The Moors Valley Railway will be offering free train rides, and golfers can get in a bit of free practice on the pitch and putt golf course or even try out the award-winning full course for only £10. And all this can be topped-off with a relaxing snack or meal in Seasons restaurant set in the historic 18th century barn that also houses the Visitor Centre and exhibition space.

Clare Gronow, Countryside Manager at Moors Valley said, “There’s never been a better time to rediscover Moors Valley or come along for the first time and find out just what we have to offer. There really is something for everyone regardless of age or interest. Whether you like quiet lakeside walks, exhilarating zip wire thrills or the simple pleasure of watching your grandchildren enjoy our safe and stimulating playgrounds you’ll find it all at Moors Valley, alongside 700 acres of quiet trails and tracks.

“We all know how easy it is to forget just what is available to us right on our doorstep. We hope this special taster session will remind everyone within a 30 minute drive of what we can offer, not just at holiday times but throughout the year”.

More information about all the facilities and events at Moors Valley can be found at www.moors-valley.co.uk or call the Rangers on 01425 470721.
