Our Magazines: The Directories: Petersfield Edition Dist: 8,200 Rowlands Castle & Havant Edition Dist: 9,500

Dear readers,

Clanfield & Horndean Edition Dist: 7,800

Would you believe it – June is already here!

One of the most favourable things for many of us about this month is that it officially marks the start of our summer.

Even though we have had some fantastic sunshine recently, let’s hope there is plenty more to come!

Also, June presents an opportunity for each of us to show our appreciation for the men who are dads on Father’s Day, which is on Sunday 17th June. Thanks to those of you who work so hard to care for your children and families.

In this edition, we have an article on Armed Forces Day, in which the nation will show their respect for those currently active, and those who previously served, in our Armed Forces. We highlight some local events taking place to celebrate the day – and how you can get involved.

Elsewhere, the summer presents a perfect time to sit back and relax with some live music outdoors. That’s why our article on some suggested local destinations will guide you to places to get in the summer vibe. There is a huge amount of talent across the county – so you are literally spoiled for choice.

The Directory Group is bursting with pride as the main sponsor for the Petersfield Town Juniors Annual Six-a-Side Tournament this month. It will be their 39th event and will see approximately 2,400 boys and girls playing friendly games. Come and say hello to Team TDG; we will be there engaging with the community… with a GIANT deck chair!

Meanwhile, enjoy your read and have a brilliant month.

The current layout and look of her kitchen was not working, and many other companies were put off by the fact the kitchen was on the first floor and in a town house just off Winchester High Street, so parking was an issue. Not for Happy Kitchens though, we were by far the best quote for the quality and came up with the best design, leading to the kitchen pictured above installed in less than 7 days.

At Happy Kitchens, we offer a wide range of makeover services ranging from replacement worktops, kitchen doors, splashbacks, hinges and wirework to new appliances and much more. We also offer new kitchen design and installation services too.

Be generous with the services you provide to maintain a positive relationship with those you deal with.

There are things in business much more important than numbers.

Dealing with figures in business is something we all must do. But numbers are not the be all and end all; there are areas in business which are equally, if not more important than numbers.

Having promising revenue is something every business owner would like to see.

Business Buddies highlight a few areas, inspired by Ian Dickson’s blog, which may support with maintaining a successful company…

1. Staff Having an adversarial relation with your staff doesn’t do anyone any good. If you and your staff have a common goal (or at least overlapping ones) your business will achieve more compared to the business where they do not – and it’ll be a more enjoyable place to work.

2. Co-operation vs. competitive working

For good decision making it’s better to have something up-to-date, even if some of your company’s numbers are best estimates.

Ensure they are indeed your best – and be realistic.

Remain on top of your workload to perform as the best in the business.

4. Hard work On occasions, we may find ourselves spending a lot of time on an area you may know little about. If you find an area of your business challenging, such as social media, then delegate this responsibility to a member of your team who will have a more thorough understanding of what you aim to achieve.

From here, you can spend more time investing in what you do best. Hard work really does pay off – so when working towards something you do well – the benefits are likely to be endless.

Recognising the heroic work of our past and present Armed Forces

The nation will salute men and women who form the Armed Forces community later this month. The event taking place on Saturday 30th June is a reminder of the heroic work conducted by current serving troops. Their families, veterans and cadets will also be recognised.

Millions of people up and down the country will show their support and get involved with the day, whether that is following the event online, or throwing a party or local community event. You could have a picnic in the park, a themed BBQ or fete. Any support is worthwhile.

Locally, support will be shown at HM Naval Base, in Portsmouth. There will also be a community event on Southsea Common on the day. Haslar Marina in Gosport will also have a Paddling Challenge too. Elsewhere in Hampshire, there will be unofficial events happening in community centres and at memorials.

A majority include military parades, concerts, fun days and garden parties. The variety of how people commemorate the day is endless. Gavin Williamson, Secretary of State for Defence, expresses his gratitude on the Armed Forces Day website.

He says: “Armed Forces Day is a valuable opportunity to honour our troops who work so hard to keep us safe. Our servicemen and women are on hand every hour of every day to protect us from the threats we face, and I encourage people across the UK to come together and salute them for their tireless commitment.�

Overall, nearly 300 community events will take place throughout the UK as the nation thank its servicemen and women.

Armed Forces Day is an annual event which takes place on the last Saturday of each June.

Its intention is to be a celebration where the Armed Forces Day flag is raised on famous landmarks around the country, such as at civic centres, guildhalls and more.

The day provides a morale boost for the troops and their families which is continually valued. Royalty, politicians, celebrities and others will show their support to the Armed Forces. For more information on how to get involved with Armed Forces Day, head to their website: www.armedforcesday.org.uk.

The RosemaRy FoundaTion hospice aT home

The Rosemary Foundation in 2017: a year in numbers

Last year, The Rosemary Foundation saw a 10% increase in new patient assessments on 2016, with 213 new patients taken on. The average length of care given to a patient in 2017 was 50 days.

In 2017, our seven part-time trained nurses and six care support staff: • Made 5,030 individual visits to patients (an average of 14 a day)

• Spent 6,260 hours with patients or family (averaging 17 hours each day) • Drove 55,843 miles to get to and from patients (that’s twice around the world!)

The most important statistic for us is that The Rosemary Foundation achieved the chosen place of care for 75% of our patients.

The Rosemary Foundation offers a “Hospice at Home” service in Petersfield and surrounding communities for patients in the latter stage of life-limiting conditions.

It costs around £1,600 a month to keep one of our nurses on the road, but we receive no public funding, relying on fund-raising efforts to continue providing our service, at no cost to the patient or their family.

The UK’s best kitesurfing event will return to Hampshire later this month. People will enjoy an exhilarating weekend at the 2018 Kitesurfing Armada Festival, from 22nd to 24th June.

Taking place on the beautiful Hayling Island, there will be lots taking place around the arena to ensure festival-goers are entertained for every hour of the day. With live music across two stages, a marquee full of merchandise, a family zone, yoga, hot tubs, pro BMX displays, delicious food, craft stalls, DJ’s, parties, bars and more. Let’s not forget about plenty of kitesurfing too!

Whether your intention is to kitesurf all day, or relax with a beer with friends, the festival organisers have you covered. This month’s Armada aims to build on the success of last year’s event, in which 6,000 people enjoyed all what was on offer.

As the festival continues to develop since its launch six years ago, Kitesurfing Armada founder, Dan Charlish, says the event is a brilliant way to get people into the summer festival vibe.

He said: “We are really looking forward to coming back to Hayling Island to deliver the festival once again. It was fantastic to see everyone enjoying all the live music, watching the kitesurfing and getting into

the summer festival vibe last year. This time around we have got even more great bands lined up. It should be a great weekend.”

If kitesurfing isn’t your thing, then that’s okay; there is so much happening, so it is guaranteed to be an entertaining two days for all.

The event organisers distribute all funds raised by the kitesurfing event itself, as well as other sponsorship schemes which will be offering activities on the weekend, to a range of brilliant youth and rescue charities – to date raising £180,000.

There is no charge to attend the festival, but visitors must register online for their free tickets at: www.kitesurfingarmada.com.

More information is available at their website.

Meon Valley • June 2018 Edition

We would love to hear your local community news stories please email them to sam@thedirectorygroup.co.uk Closing date for the next edition is 15.06.18

ENJOY A WILD NIGHT OUT ON THE SOUTH DOWNS Exploring the English countryside is an excellent place to switch off, relax, and fill your lungs with some fresh air.

Families, first timers, seasonal experts and many others are being invited to join.

But fewer people, especially many youngsters, are getting outside and visiting the countryside and green spaces available.

As well as the camping experience the event will also include music under the stars, lessons in bushcraft, bird watching and local conservation from Butterfly Conservation.

That’s the message of the team at Wild Night Out on the South Downs, who encourage a greater number of people to get outdoors.

Activities at the campground will include stories round the campfire with several informal short talks including a talk about ‘Everest and Elephants’ by Holly.

Holly Budge, adventurer, conservationist and everest summiteer, will be sharing a night and day of wild adventure on Saturday 30th June on the South Downs at Holden Farm, Cheriton, on the South Downs Way.

All of the proceeds from the event will be going to ‘How Many Elephants’ conservation charity, that works to create awareness of the declining numbers of elephants killed by poachers for the ivory trade.

If current levels of poaching continue, in just seven years there will be no elephants left in the wild.

“I feel passionate about inspiring others to daydream, meander, run, climb and jump into their own adventures in the great outdoors.

I love hiking and camping on the South Downs, this was my training ground for climbing Everest, running up the hills with a weighted pack” says Holly.

To advertise here call 01730 260746 or email sales@thedirectorygroup.co.uk

She continued: “It is so important in the crazy busy world we live in to take time out to relax, breathe and simply be in nature.

This event will raise funds for my charity ‘How Many Elephants’, which is about preserving, appreciating and celebrating wildlife and nature.”

For further information and to book visit: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/ wildnightout2018 Tickets are Adult: £10, Family: £25 (two adults, two children under 15).

Flower festival will be blooming with colour next month

will be an amazing spectacle. She said: “We have made the flower festival a real community event. It is quite a big event and there is people from all over the place coming together for this beautiful festival.

“The event will be all about creation. Whether it is on the Genesis story or the creation of music, there will be something of interest to all.”

The event is overseen by St Peter’s – but welcomes the Petersfield Area Churches Together (PACT) organisation, who will also have displays.

Suggested donations are to be made at the door when people are visiting to view the displays. Money raised will be poured back into the local work of the church.

Christine added: “This enjoyable event is an opportunity for the church community to come together and do something as one.

“I am very excited about it. I love to see the church doors open to everyone and these events are brilliant ways at bringing people together.

There will be a glorious flourish of colour, scent and a feast for all the senses at the Petersfield Flower Festival this month.

The event, which will be from June 15 to 17, at St Peter’s Church, will see many people from across the Meon Valley and Petersfield area enjoying many arrangements focused on creation.

It is open to all across Petersfield, the Meon Valley and beyond. Christine Rushton, who is part of the organising team, says the event

Opening hours of the Flower Festival will be: Friday 15 and Saturday 16 June, at 9.30am to 5pm, and on Sunday 17 June, at 11am to 5.30pm.
