E Q

Meon Valley Lions

The Lions Go roaring on

The Swanmore Fete always marks the start of our new Lions year; we’re always so pleased to put on a great day for the community and get our fundraising off to a solid start. But sometimes we are asked; why do Meon Valley Lions Club need to fundraise? what do you actually spend the money on? Below is a short summary of where the money raised actually goes:

Calls for Lions Help - We provided direct help, when asked, for families in the Meon Valley. In the last 12 months, we purchased cookers, washing machines, fridge freezers, rugs, beds, mattresses, bedding, clothes and helped with a couple of gardening projects. The help gives families a leg up when needed.

Fundraising to help other organisations - We help the wonderful team at Rose Road Association and The Rainbow Centre in joint fundraising activities - just check out their websites to see the amazing work they do in our area. This year we also helped the Soberton & Newtown Ukrainian Group with a donation for some essential toiletries. Each spring we also do the Marie Currie collections in Bishops Waltham.

Contact with external organisations - We maintain regular contact with key external groups like the Food Bank, Age Concern, Rainbow Centre, Rose Road Ass, Baby Bank, Wickham Pantry, Homestart, Fitzroy, Adult and Children Services at Hants CC, and Citizen Advice - they always know the Meon Valley Lions are on hand should they know of anyone who needs our help.

The Lions Minibus - We run our legendary Meon Valley Minibus, out every week supporting various clubs and lunch clubs. It is also used by other local groups and clubs for transport when needed. It is the ultimate community bus.

Christmas Cheer - We provide a small amount of Christmas cheer via Age Concern, Homestart and the Foodbank - (sorry to mention Christmas so early).

Socials - But it’s not all work and no play - we actually enjoy the Fete, doing the BBQ at many local events and when the work is done, we have also been known to have a get together down the local. Friendship and socialising, whilst giving back, is an important part of being a Lion, you can read all about us at our website. https://www.meonvalleylionsclub.org.uk As you can hopefully see, our fundraising is very much a means to an end for helping anyone who lives in the Meon Valley and only possible with your support. So next time you see us out - ask us about being a Lion and what we actually do and as always, if you need our help - please contact us asap.

Apology - So sorry I missed thanking Contraband off my previous newsletter. They did a great job and had lots of the children dancing along in the arena.

Rainbow Centre Gardening Team

Rotary Club of Fareham

The Rotary Club of Fareham continues its fundraising efforts towards an accessible roundabout for The Rainbow Centre in Fareham. We had the Rainbow Dippers swimming in the Solent from Lee on Solent to Hill Head and NOW there’s an amazing cycle ride by two members of our Club for this great cause.

Rotarians Bob Mussellwhite and Richard Coghlan (known as Cogy!) set off from our Rotary Wheel House at Hill Head this morning/Saturday 13th August on a big adventure!

They are on their way to cycling a massive 420 miles to raise funds for a new all-inclusive roundabout for The Rainbow Centre in Fareham. The Centre supports children with motor impairment to overcome their difficulties through conductive education. Bob and Cogy decided a good fundraiser would be a Rotary Rainbow Roundabout Ride cycling from the Fareham area into France.

They will follow the ‘Sustran 2 cycle route’ along the south coast to Dover before crossing the Channel to Calais. From there they will follow the ‘Eurovelo 4 cycle route’ along the coast of Normandy to Ouistreham. Hopefully this will result in a return on 20th August, having completed this mammoth journey, to gain all the sponsorship promised!

As President Pam Marsden said “I just know they can do it! They have been practising hard to ensure they are in peak condition. They have also kept their costs to a minimum, to benefit The Rainbow Centre, by being entirely self-sufficient. They have arranged to camp each night in the gardens of fellow Rotarians along the route in England and France! Our Rotary Club is twinned with one in Cabourg, France, so that overnight stop might be upgraded to a bedroom rather than a garden!”

The planned roundabout for The Rainbow Centre will provide wheelchair access and will be such an improvement. Visit our Just Giving page by searching for Bob and Cogy’s Rotary Rainbow Roundabout Ride or email farehamrotary.pr@gmail.com – it’s the same email if you’re interested in knowing more about joining our Rotary Club in Fareham too - we meet on Thursday lunchtimes at 12:30.

Don’t trash Tchaikovsky or shun Shostakovich

In April 2022 a villa in the Ukrainian town of Trostyanets in North-eastern Ukraine was destroyed by the Russians. The villa was known as Tchaikovsky’s House and was where this famous “Russian” composer created his first symphonic work – the overture “The Storm” in 1864.

His grandfather, Pyotr Fedorovich Tchaikovsky, who eventually became governor of Glazov near Moscow, was born in Mykolaivka, some 50 miles north of Trostyanets and Tchaikovsky always regarded Ukraine as his spiritual home and the place where he could be happiest. Shostakovich was so heavily criticised by Stalin in 1936 that he was forced to keep his Fourth Symphony, written that year, funder wraps or fear of being sent to the Gulags: it was finally premièred in 1961. While he regained some favour during the Second World War, in 1948 his music was again banned, he was dismissed from the Moscow Conservatory and, according to a friend from those days, spent his nights “waiting for his arrest on the landing by the lift, so that at least his family wouldn't be disturbed”. Like Tchaikovsky his family roots were elsewhere– his grandfather, Bolesław Szostakowicz, was from Poland.

“The war in Ukraine has led many to argue that we should shun all Russian culture,” says Susanne Stanzeleit, leader of the Primrose Piano Quartet, “but we have to remember that Russia in the nineteenth century included many countries that would now be regarded as parts of democratic Europe and composers considered as ‘Russian’ often thought of themselves as really belonging elsewhere.”

The Primrose has included Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio and Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata in the opening concert of this year’s West Meon Music Festival, which starts on 8th September. “While some people may be reluctant to listen to what is regarded as ‘Russian music’, we must remember that its composers lived in a very different country from Putin’s Russia,” adds Stanzeleit.“Tchaikovsky regarded Ukraine as ‘home’ while Shostakovich was persecuted during the Stalin era and later composed works that were still regarded as high risk in the 1960s – such as the Babi Yar symphony based on Yevtushenko’s poem condemning the massacre of Ukrainian Jews.” Less controversial works included in this year’s festival include Schubert’s last chamber work, the String Quintet in C, and piano quartets by Mozart and Beethoven. Full details of the festival, which runs from 8th to 11th September with eight concerts in Meon Valley churches can be found at www.westmeonmusic.co.uk.
