Council says salaries reflect work to develop projects for residents

By Owen Hughes BASINGSTOKE and Deane Borough Council paid five employees more than £100,000 in the same year it proposed increasing its share of council tax.

Figures published in the 11th Town Hall Rich List by the TaxPayers’ Alliance earlier this month revealed five council employees received remuneration in excess of £100,000 in 2016-17.

Chief executive Melbourne Barrett was the council’s highest earner on the list, receiving £16,395 in employer pension contributions on top of a £128,978 salary.

Mr Barrett’s total remuneration of £145,373 in 2016-17 is only £5,029 less than prime minister Theresa May’s annual salary.

Bhupinder Gill, head of law and governance at the council, received

£124,372. Executive director of fi nance and resources, Kevin Jaquest, received £113,906, while the executive director of borough services Rebecca Emmett was paid £112,049.

Former project director for the Manydown development, Richard Bayley, received more than £107,000 in 2016-17.

From the start of April 2018, the average council tax (Band D) increased by 4.55 per cent for Basingstoke and Deane residents to £137.16.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council spokesperson Sara Shepherd said: “These figures should be put into the context of the council’s ambitious vision to grow and develop the borough and to deliver a range of aspirational and complex projects for the

Crackdown on speeding

By Owen Hughes A JOINT police crackdown on speeding drivers has been in force this week reminding motorists that there is “no such thing as safe speeding”.

Police in the Hampshire region have joined with national and European forces in the #ItsNotWorthTheRisk campaign.

The campaign highlights to motorists that travelling at illegal or inappropriate speeds is the single biggest factor in fatal road collisions.

Excessive or inappropriate speed was a contributory factor in a fi fth of road deaths and more than one in 10 of all serious casualties across Hampshire and the Thames Valley.

Sgt Rob Heard from the Roads Policing Unit in Hampshire and Thames Valley said: “People need to realise it’s a speed limit and not a target so it may be more appropriate to travel at a lower speed depending on the road conditions for their own safety.

“Drivers can become complacent about roads they are familiar with, causing them to be less alert to the road, and drive at a faster speed.

“A few miles an hour over the speed limit or travelling at an inappropriate speed can have a catastrophic effect upon road users and their families, many of whom also suffer lasting and profound consequences from

collisions where a loved one has been killed or seriously injured.

“Excessive speed will reduce the time you have to react to a hazard and further the distance it takes for you to stop.”

The risk of death is approximately four times higher when a pedestrian is hit at 40mph than at 30mph, with young male drivers aged 21 to 29 most likely to exceed the limits.

Sgt Heard added: “Some people think it is ok to travel just a little over the speed limit.

“However a few miles an hour can make a significant difference to you reacting and being able to avoid a hazard or collision.”

Police are also reminding drivers of goods vehicles of restrictions on certain roads.

“Our officers are catching far too many van drivers who are not aware of speed restrictions associated with their vehicles, it’s no excuse,” he added.

The campaign which began on Monday will run until Sunday.

Your storage is safe and very secure A Basingstoke self-storage company is no pushover for hackers after being awarded for its robust cyber security.

Store & Secure, on Houndmills Road, achieved Cyber Essentials certification from the National Cyber Security Centre earlier this month.

Facility manager Lucy Maidman said: “We are one of the fi rst companies in the self-storage industry to gain the certification. We passed with flying colours – it shows our commitment to security and our ongoing good practice.”

The company hired cyber defence and security consultants C3IA Solutions early in 2017 and had its vulnerability and security assessed.

Lucy added: “Store & Secure has remained in a security management partnership with C3IA to provide expertise and assist Store & Secure in meeting its security objectives.”

Not app-y about potholes?

£1.4m building refurb begins

BASINGSTOKE residents “fed up” with the condition of roads in the town are being encouraged to report potholes through a new web app.

Holes in Basingstoke’s roads reported via the app will then be compiled into a ‘pothole census’ report before being presented to Hampshire County Council and lobbying for action to be taken.

The pothole app was unveiled by Lib Dem candidate for Brighton Hill North Andy Konieczko and councillor Gavin James last week.

Mr Konieczko said: “Residents keep telling us that they’re fed up with the appalling condition of Basingstoke’s roads.

“If you drive or cycle along any

stretch of road in Brighton Hill, you’ll see why: our roads are falling apart.

“With your help, we can build a detailed picture of all the potholes in our borough and push Hampshire County Council to do something about them.”

Cllr James added: “Hampshire County Council asked the government for more money so that it can address our area’s pothole problem.

“It has now been given £3million extra exactly for this purpose, so there’s no longer any excuse for leaving our roads in such a terrible state.

“It’s time to fi x Basingstoke’s pothole plague.”

The app can be used online at https://bit.ly/2qBK1MJ

WORK has started on a major refurbishment project in Basingstoke.

The £1.42million modernisation of the 13,000 sqft at Linde Material Handling (UK) Ltd on Kingsclere Road got under way last week.

Fareham-based Amiri Interiors has removed much of the internal walls, fittings and fi xtures of the ground floor of one of the administration buildings.

The refit, due to be completed in July, includes a new reception, catering area, breakout space, meeting rooms, ancillary spaces and to create modern toilet facilities.

Rally pair killed as car hit tree

By Owen Hughes A RALLY driver and co-driver died when their car became airborne and hit a tree at about 75mph, an inquest has heard.

Driver Shawn Rayner, 52, of Eton Wick Road, Windsor, and navigator Steve Dear, 64, of School Green, Reading, were killed in a crash at the Loco 2 Stages Rally at Bramley camp near Basingstoke on December 29 last year.

Mr Rayner and Mr Dear suffered chest and head injuries and died instantly.

Senior coroner Andrew Bradley recorded a verdict of accidental death in Basingstoke on Monday.

The MK 2 Ford Escort, owned and

driven by Mr Rayner, became airborne when exiting a big dip on a straight unmaintained road, witnesses said.

The rally car was around 3ft off the ground before it collided with the oak tree side-on, wrapping the car with its occupants around the tree.

Suspected damage to the car’s steering arm after landing following the big dip would have made the vehicle impossible to control, the inquest heard.

Event organiser Barry Guess, from Sutton and Cheam Motor Club, warned the drivers about the dip, with Mr Bradley adding he had heard evidence the event was well organised.

A spokesperson for Sutton and Cheam Motor Club said after the crash

Rally drivers Steve Dear, left, and Shawn Rayner, right, died at the rally near Basingstoke last year that they were “deeply saddened by the incident”.

Council has ambitious plans for the borough From front page benefit of our residents, while also delivering high quality services to our residents.”

Hampshire County Council had the most employees paid in excess of £100,000 throughout the South East.

A total of 21 members of staff were paid more than £100,000, including chief executive John Coughlan who was awarded £214,054.

Council tax in Hampshire

increased by 5.99 per cent for 201819 with residents footing bills of £1,200.96 for Band D homes.

A spokesperson for Hampshire County Council said: “The figures published by the county council each year also include staff from across almost 500 Hampshire schools, but we have no say on their pay – this is determined by schools.

“It’s also important to note that the role of the chief executive and that of a number of chief officers now goes beyond the delivery of

99%

services on behalf of just Hampshire County Council.”

Hampshire is the third largest shire council in the country, serving 1.3 million residents.

The council said it has generated a “gross income of £130million” from the range of services it provides to other local authorities and public sector partners, while “£340million of savings had been secured by April 2017”.

Both councils make salary details of chief officers available on their websites.

paid tributes to the “great characters” earlier this year.

Mr Rayner’s family and friends said: “Shawn Rayner was a loveable giant that could put a smile on anyone’s face. The world has lost two of its great characters and most incredible human beings.

“Thank you for the skids, the smiles, the rides and the memories. Keep smiling up there big man. Dad will call the notes for you, You just keep it pinned.”

Mr Dear’s family said: “Steve Dear was a truly wonderful gentleman who won the hearts of all that came into contact with him. The world has lost an inspirational father, loving partner and respected friend, brother and son.”

Colin Blebta, left, fi nance director at Linde, said the investment will enhance working conditions and improve the experience for customers who visit the UK headquarters.

He said: “The buildings on site are a legacy from the former manufacturing location. The new facilities, including a meeting and presentation area, will greatly benefit our business and our customers.”

MP gives her backing for Parkinson’s Day

By Owen Hughes BASINGSTOKE MP Maria Miller’s parliamentary office team will take part in specialist workplace training to raise awareness of Parkinson’s.

The push for greater awareness is part of charity Parkinson’s UK’s activity to encourage people to Unite for Parkinson’s on World Parkinson’s Day. Parkinson’s affects 145,000 people in the UK – one in 350 people in Basingstoke.

With numbers of people affected expected to increase by a fifth by 2025, the charity is aiming to change attitudes about Parkinson’s to make life better for everyone living with the condition.

Through the training, Maria Miller and her office team will learn more about the progressive neurological condition, the complex symptoms people face, as well as how to recognise and best support constituents with Parkinson’s.

Mrs Miller said: “It is shocking that people with Parkinson’s face so many barriers, including being mistaken for being drunk, when

Maria Miller MP pledged to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s out in public.

“My office staff and I want to take the training so that we are all better equipped to improve the lives of everyone affected by the condition in Basingstoke and better understand the issues faced by those who come to my advice surgery.”

A survey found that 32 per cent of people with Parkinson’s have been stared at in public and 11 per cent have been laughed at.

In addition, 32 per cent of people do not feel that their symptoms are socially acceptable.

Steve Ford, chief executive of Parkinson’s UK, said: “We are thrilled that Maria and the team have signed up to our Parkinson’s in the workplace training.

“Lack of public understanding can make simple things like getting the bus, going to work, or even heading out to the pub with friends daunting for people with Parkinson’s.

“That’s why one small action like signing up to learn more about how the condition can have a big impact on people with Parkinson’s.

“We look forward to seeing the difference Maria’s support can make for her constituents in Basingstoke.”

Maria is also backing a petition from Parkinson’s UK calling for more organisations to sign up for the training.

Health workers up for NHS awards HEALTH and care workers in Basingstoke who work in and alongside the NHS have been recognised by Maria Miller MP with a nomination in the NHS 70 Awards.

Mrs Miller said: “It has been all but impossible to put forward a shortlist of those to represent Basingstoke in the national competition. I wish them all the best of luck.”

The nominees include: ■ The Moving Forward course delivered by charity Breast Cancer Care, in partnership with Basingstoke Hospital, for the Excellence in Cancer Care Award.

Physio’s rising star nomination

By Owen Hughes A Basingstoke-based physiotherapist has been recognised as a rising star in the industry.

Grace Smith, who works as a sister on the specialist respiratory ward at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, was shortlisted for the award after successfully taking up a role normally reserved for nurses.

The Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust physiotherapist will fi nd out if she has won CDL Rising Star award at the national Advancing Healthcare Awards, which take place in London tomorrow.

Grace said: “I was humbled to be nominated and to have been shortlisted is amazing.

“It’s lovely to get this recognition for the outstanding work going on in the Trust and on the ward I work on.

“I’m looking forward to the ceremony.

“It should be a really good afternoon and give me the opportunity to

meet new people and pick up some new ideas.”

Grace qualified as a physiotherapist four years ago and has made rapid progress within the team.

She moved into a specialist role before being promoted to ward sister, a role normally fulfi lled by a nurse.

Grace excelled in the role, learning a host of new skills and sharing her knowledge and experience with the nursing team to help ensure patients receive outstanding care on the ward.

She added: “It’s a constant challenge, clinically and emotionally, but I love the role.

“I’m still able to use my skills as a therapist, but in a different way, and I have learned a huge amount, both from the nurses and therapists that I work alongside and the patients I have treated.

“By appointing me to this role, Hampshire Hospitals has really thought outside the box.

“It’s important that the NHS is

Pub conversion will bring housing and community space AN East Hampshire pub that has been empty for the past two years will be converted into homes.

of The Star Inn is an important step in our long-term growth plan to provide affordable residential accommodation in the South East of England, thereby helping to reduce the constant upward pressure on residential property prices and giving our kids a chance to get onto the property ladder.”

Specialist business property adviser

Christie & Co brokered the sale at a guide price of £455,000 plus VAT earlier this month.

Senior business agent Richard Wood, who handled the sale, said: “This transaction will see this closed pub being restored and I have no doubt that this will be very well supported by the local and wider community.”

HAMPSHIRE Stalking Clinic has been praised during National Stalking Awareness Week (April 16 to 22).

The multi-agency clinic reviews cases of stalking in Hampshire.

Police and Crime Commissioner Michael Lane said: “The clinic is an excellent example of a partnership approach to tackling a crime that can leave victims feeling particularly vulnerable and isolated.”

Passport appeal A Basingstoke-based company that missed out on a deal to produce new blue UK passports has decided not to appeal the government’s decision.

British company De La Rue was unsuccessful in its bid to secure the post-Brexit passport contract worth £490million which was awarded to French-Dutch supplier Gemalto.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the company said: “De La Rue will continue to fulfi l its existing contract and assist with transition to the new supplier.”

Couple’s US scooter trip for school fund

Husband and wife to journey on west coast

By Owen Hughes A BASINGSTOKE couple who have hiked through Israel, sailed the North Sea and kayaked the width of the UK are about to embark on their next adventure.

Basingstoke-born Bex Band and her husband Gil Drori will kick their previous efforts to the kerb as they attempt to travel more than 1,500 miles of the west coast of the USA on adult kick scooters.

The expedition, named Kicking the States, will begin on May 15 as the couple take off from Vancouver, concluding in Tijuana, Mexico, three months later.

The journey will be completely self-contained as the scooter-riders carry their own gear and camp most nights, costing an estimated £2,100 to complete.

Bex and Gil are hoping to raise money for Africa’s Children in Education charity, which supports some of the poorest children on the continent through school.

Bex, a former teacher, said: “We visited East Africa last year and since then have wanted to do something to give back as we feel we are so fortunate in many ways.

“I hope that we can really make a difference to the lives of children by helping them get an education.”

The couple will be giving free talks along their expedition in exchange for donations.

In previous attempts to raise money for charity, the adventur-

Bex Band quit her full time job as a teacher to fulfil her ambition of becoming an adventurer – she and husband Gil Drori are planning to scoot along America’s west coast ers have tested their limits during international hiking, sailing and kayaking challenges.

But this is the fi rst time that the couple have attempted a challenge on kick scooters.

Gil said: “We decided to do this journey on kick scooters because it is the most fun way to travel.

“It allows us to really see the places we pass and is great for meeting people along the way.

“When people see the scooters,

they want a go too.”

Bex added: “I know it is going to be tough reaching the long distances we need to cover each day to reach our goal, but I’m also excited about the challenge and to see how much we can raise for charity.

“When we tell people what we are planning, the fi rst thing they ask is ‘are you going to use just one leg?’, but we will be switching legs.”

Level three hospitality and catering student Sam EgertonKemp, 19, has been selected for the fi nal of the Institute for Hospitality Southern Branch Student of the Year award.

Sam joined Basingstoke College of Technology in September 2014 and was named Pastry Chef Student of the Year by the institute two years later.

The young chef will fi nd out if he has won the prestigious prize at the awards ceremony hosted by 2016 Masterchef champion Jane Devonshire at the Balmer Lawn

Hotel in Hampshire this evening (Thursday).

In two weeks time, a team of BCoT hospitality and catering students will travel to Central Bedfordshire College to take part in the semi-fi nal of the Young Restaurant Team of the Year 2018.

“Learning from experienced lecturers and chefs within our working restaurant allows our students to acquire the technical skills and knowledge they need for a long and successful career.”

Share your big day with Harry?

Chance to win ÂŁ2,000 jewellery NEARLY-WEDS in Basingstoke could receive the royal treatment this May if their wedding date falls on the same day Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot.

Beaverbrooks, in Festival Place, is giving one lucky couple the chance to win ÂŁ2,000 worth of wedding jewellery.

The Royal wedding falls on Saturday May 19, nearly six months since the couple announced their engagement.

Couples who prove that their wedding day falls on the same day as Harry and Meghan could have the cost of their jewellery covered by the Basingstoke-based jewellers.

The bride and groom will be able to spend the sum on any jewellery for their big day, from wedding rings for the happy couple to diamonds for the bride and gifts for guests.

Store manager Darryl Plank said: “All eyes will be on Harry and Meghan’s ceremony this May, and couples who have booked their wedding on the same day might be feeling like their big day has been overshadowed by the royal occasion. “To combat this, we want to give one local couple the royal treatment by inviting them in-store to enjoy a ÂŁ2,000 shopping spree to help them fi nd the perfect jewellery for their big day.â€?

Designing a new game really is just child’s play

By Owen Hughes HOPSCOTCH, snakes and ladders and mazes will feature for one lucky school as pupils take part in a new playground design competition launched in Tadley last month.

Children’s television presenter and racing driver, Rebecca Jackson, launched the national competition at Burnham Copse Primary School in Tadley.

Hundreds of schools are participating in the national competition where children design their own playground game.

The winner will have the game professionally designed and painted on the school’s playground by Thermoplastic Designs & Lines (TPDAL).

One Year 4 pupil from Burnham Copse Primary said: “It was so cool that Rebecca came to our school with her racing car. I want to design a racing game for our playground. “It’s been really fun so far and whoever wins will be really lucky.�

Rebecca said: “Enjoyable day with the kids, looking at one of my former race cars and really excited to help launch the official TPDAL school playground competition.�

Teacher Mr Dutton said: “We were so excited to host the opening event and to be a part of this competition. “The children have been coming

Top 5 things landlords should look for in an investment property With a quarter of all households in the UK expected to be renting by 2025, it’s no surprise that investors remain keen on property. To help you identify a lucrative investment opportunity, Romans’ Lettings Managing Director, Richard O’Neill has identified five factors every landlord should look for in a property before buying to let.

1) Local employment opportunities To attract quality tenants, choose an area where big businesses are based or areas with a number of local employers.

2) Excellent transport links Proximity to a rail station or the motorway network will make a home more appealing to people who need to travel for work, family or social commitments.

3) Quality of housing With tenants staying in one place for longer, they typically look for

By Romans Group quality properties that can be a home to be proud of. Therefore properties which are maintained to a high standard will achieve higher rents and benefit from longer tenancies and fewer voids.

4) Attractive local amenities Areas with plenty to offer will naturally appeal to tenants. Look for homes that are close to shops, pubs, restaurants, schools and entertainment facilities.

5) Meeting local demand Working out who you are aiming to let to and buying a property to suit is a must, work with a local agent who understand local demand before purchasing a property.

Richard O’Neill has identifi ed five factors every landlord should look for in a property before buying to let.

Sharing lifetime of folk music

By Josh Cox GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner and US folk icon, Tom Paxton, returns to the UK this April to perform 12 shows with special guests.

After 56 years of performing around the world and writing and recording numerous songs and recordings, Tom Paxton has found yet another outlet for his creativity; he has joined his friends and song-writing colleagues Jon Vezner and Don Henry known as The DonJuans in a writing and performing experience.

Tom’s career has taken him from his days as a drama student at The University of Oklahoma to thousands of concerts in a variety of venues, from small coffee houses in Greenwich Village to The Royal Albert Hall to New York’s Carnegie Hall.

His shows with The DonJuans have him on his toes, he says: “These guys are long-ball hitters and if I don’t want to get smoked I’d better do a little rehearsing. I probably need to do that anyway,” he says, laughing.

“It certainly couldn’t hurt.”

By their name you might assume that the DonJuans rely merely on their good looks but the group includes two Grammy Award-winning songwriters.

Their song Where’ve You Been

OPEN 9AM TO 4PM

was the first song in country music history to sweep all major song of the year honours including the Grammy, ACM, CMA, and the Nashville Songwriter’s Association International awards.

In the nearly 25 years since Where’ve You Been, Don and Jon have performed in venues from the Bottom Line in New York City to the Bluebird Café in Nashville, sharing stages with artists as diverse as Joey Ramone, John Hartford, Michael Johnson, and David Crosby.

Collectively, their songs have been covered by a whole host of music legends including John Mellencamp, Miranda Lambert, Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Nancy Griffith, Judy Collins, John Denver and Bob Dylan.

The special performance will take place at The Haymarket this Sunday. For more information and tickets visit anvilarts. org.uk or call the box office on 01256 844244.

Any word found in the Concise Oxford Dictionary (Tenth Edition) is eligible with the following exceptions: proper nouns; plural nouns, pronouns and possessives; third person singular verbs; hyphenated words; contractions and abbreviations; vulgar slang words; variant spellings of the same word (where another variant is also eligible).

Using all 16 letters of the phrase above, form four words each of four letters which will fit in the grid to form a magic square in which the words can be read both horizontally and vertically.

Spell out a 15-letter word or phrase by moving from one chamber to another within the pyramid. You may only enter each of the chambers once and may only proceed S through openings in the walls. The A first letter may appear in any chamber.

Keeping you motoring for over 30 years Audi S3 2.0 TFSI Quattro 310 PS Black Edition S tronic

Journey to a galaxy far, far away...

By Tony Yates

the brilliant Audi Quattro all-wheel-drive system fitted, which is just a masterpiece of utter brilliance and witchcraft.

Of course, this being the ‘S3’ means it also comes with sports suspension which has been lowered by 25mm giving it an even more hunched down look.

Welcome to this weeks review of the Audi S3. A car, with so much power that I’m pretty sure it could power The Millennium Falcon.

Power & efficiency The S3 I had on test was powered by a 310PS 2.0 litre TFSI turbocharged petrol engine which produces blistering responsiveness along with the added bonus of 400Nm of torque. 0-62 mph comes in an eyeball wobbling time of 4.6 seconds, yet it still managed to return a combined fuel consumption of 42.8 mpg.

Plus, flat out the S3 is capable of 155mph.

So, fast is it? Well, I will let you into a little secret. Don’t let the S3 fool you.

The engine is really powerful and ferocious.

On the road:

As you would expect from Audi, the cabin materials are exceptional quality and this runs right through the veins of the S3. There is even more good news because on the inside you get pure Audi quality throughout the interior, which includes fine Nappa leather seating.

Also, because this was the ‘Black Edition’ you get additional exterior touches such as; Black radiator grille, window trims and rear diffuser insert. You also get instrument dials with the ‘S3’ logo. And, privacy glass – dark tinted rear and rearside windows from B-pillar backwards and Black door mirrors.

There’s also plenty of standard equiptment - like Air-con, cruise control, dual zone climate control, automatic wipers,

To sum up I like the Audi S3 a lot because it’s poised, controlled, and really fast. Plus, it’s possibly the most fun I have ever had in an Audi. Price from: £36,040 – not including extras

Tadders a step nearer PROMOTION is within touching distance for Tadley Calleva.

The Tadders are closing in on an escape from Wessex Division One following a 4-2 win at Totton & Eling and a 4-1 victory at home to Downton on Saturday and Tuesday.

The top three are promoted and, as we went to press, Tadley, with two games remaining, had a six-point advantage over fourth-placed United Services Portsmouth who played last night (Wednesday).

Whitchurch United lost 4-0 at AFC Stoneham on Saturday.

Sorry season ends SORRY Basingstoke RFC lost 34-10 at New Milton & District on Saturday to round off their London 3 South West campaign with a 100 per cent losing record.

‘Stoke played 22 and lost 22 of their games, picking up a measly three bonus points, to fi nish cut adrift at the foot of the table.

The winless side scored the fewest points – 172 – and conceded by far the most – 1,111.

Basingstoke will now be relegated to the ninth tier.

Basingstoke & Mid Hants Athletics Club made a super start to the new season letes as both the Basingstoke men and women fi nished in fi rst place in the 4x400m relays.

Rebecca Bullock and Gemma Brigg dominated the middle distance runs winning their 800m races.

Izzy Mannion and Rebecca Poole won both 1500m races, with Poole adding to her earlier triumph in the 400m hurdles race.

In the field events, Emily Cornwall

and Hannah Haugvik continued the Basingstoke dominance by winning their respective long jump competitions with five metre jumps.

Caius Joseph was the outstanding performer in the pole vault, clearing a height of 4.45m to set a new personal best and new junior men club record.

Both Caius and fellow Basingstoke athlete Ryan Bonifas cleared 1.8m in the high jump, gaining two fi rsts.

Elsewhere on the field, Joe Flitcroft in the hammer, Ben Hazel in the javelin, and Nicolas Gerome in the shot putt all recorded wins in their sport.

On the track, Nicolas Gerome and Josh Strudwick achieved fi rst place in their respective 400m hurdles race, with Ryan Bonifas fi nished fi rst in the 100m hurdles.

Both Rob Wood and Justyn Moore won their 5000m races.

Play-off spot in the bag thanks to hat-trick glory STYLISH Hartley Wintney secured their spot in the play-offs with a 4-0 home win over Uxbridge on Saturday.

Nic Ciardini was the hat-trick hero for the Row who have ensured their season will extend into May. The north east Hampshire side still have their sights set on automatic promotion and hope to close the gap on the top two when they host Fleet

By Owen Hughes BASINGSTOKE Athletics Club raced ahead of the competition in the opening weekend of the new season.

Both the senior and junior teams were in action in a busy weekend for Basingstoke athletes on Saturday.

Basingstoke & Mid Hants Athletic Club played host to Aldershot Farnham & District AC, Hillingdon AC and South London Harriers in the fi rst Southern Athletics League match of the season.

Warm sunny conditions were a very welcome sight for the athletes and contributed to some great individual performances for an overall win for the Basingstoke club.

Basingstoke swept the board in the 400m with Amber Clare coming home fi rst for the women’s A stream race in a personal best time of 58.24 seconds.

Following closely was Lydia Sommers who fi nished fi rst in the women’s B stream race.

For the men, Harry Richardson achieved a personal best performance fi nishing fi rst in the A stream 400m race in a time of 50.07, with Joe Flitcroft also taking fi rst place in the B stream race.

There was further glory for the ath-

Town (18th) this evening (Thursday).

Hartley only had a 1-0 lead at half time against Uxbridge, Ciardini rifl ing home his fi rst of an impressive afternoon on 11 minutes.

The midfielder secured his hat-trick and the match ball by the hour mark as the men in orange turned on the style in the second half.

Ciardini converted from close range

on 51 minutes and dinked the ball over the advancing Uxbridge goalkeeper nine minutes later to make it 3-0.

Hartley who were threatening to run riot added a fourth on 67 minutes, Dean Stow scoring a penalty.

The Row, fourth in the Evo-Stik East, are four points off secondplaced Beaconsfield Town with four games to go.

They play away at Ashford Town (12th) and Kempston Rovers (9th) on Saturday and Tuesday.

Hartley are also into the Aldershot & District Senior Cup fi nal after beating Farnham Town 6-2 on Tuesday.

Steven Duff and James Tennant scored a brace each in the fi rst half.

Ian Jones and Dec Shuttleworth added two more in the second half.

Schoolboy bats his way to regional table tennis glory A SCHOOLBOY from Basingstoke has his eye on a national competition after triumphing in the regional table tennis championships.

Eduard Lakatos, a year six pupil at Kempshott Junior School, picked up a bat for the fi rst time two years ago and excelled in the Basingstoke leagues.

The young competitor has represented his school at the interschool championship, and represented Basingstoke at the county interschool fi nal in February.

Eduard won fi rst place at the county competition qualifying him for the national championship this weekend, where he will represent his school, Basingstoke and Hampshire in his age group.

The youngster is no stranger to pressure at prestigious table tennis competitions.

Eduard fi nished runner up in the Cliffendale Chandlers Juniors championships Under-11 boys and in the cadet boys in the internal Hampshire

Back-to-back victories edge Stoke towards top half finish

By George Welch ‘FRUSTRATING’ Basingstoke Town limped past relegation-threatened Dunstable Town as two second half goals earned a 2-0 win at the Camrose on Saturday.

Dan Bayliss and Callum Bunting found the back of the net for the wasteful hosts who followed the win with a 3-2 home victory against Bishop’s Stortford on Tuesday.

The Dragons, aiming for a top-10 fi nish, dominated from the off against Dunstable and could have taken the lead through early Sam Smart and Jack McKnight half chances.

The hosts had the better of the game with a number of corners but failed to convert their dominance into clear cut chances.

The second half was a big improvement, although it was the visitors, second-bottom with a goal difference of -107, who nearly took the lead straight after the restart.

Basingstoke took the lead seven minutes later though when Bayliss nodded home a George Bennett header.

Dunstable goalkeeper Nathan Harness needed to be in top form to thwart Sam Deadfield, Smart and Bunting as the home side struggled to get the all-important second goal.

But it eventually arrived with a minute to spare when Dunstable,

chasing an equaliser, left gaps at the back and Bunting applied the fi nish.

Boss Terry Brown was pleased with the win but was frustrated with the performance against the Evo-Stik Premier strugglers.

“I don’t know how it was for the spectators but it was a frustrating afternoon for the manager,” he said.

“Dunstable worked their socks off and one of their defenders was magnificent and kept quiet our forward line almost single handedly.

“We needed patience and we kept our shape.”

Brown praised the performances of Guri Demuria and Bayliss but described his team’s fi nal passing and fi nishing as “pretty woeful”.

However, Basingstoke made it back-to-back wins with a 3-2 win over Bishop’s Stortford at the Camrose on Tuesday.

A Bunting header and Smart’s 20th of the season gave the hosts a commanding 2-0 half time lead.

The Blues gave themselves a lifeline when Mark Hughes pulled one back.

But Sam Deadfield regained the two-goal advantage for the Dragons with a low drive from distance.

Marvel Ekpiteta netted a late consolation for the away side and Town held on.

‘Stoke (10th) visit Stratford Town (14th) on Saturday.
