A musical interlude to support The Rosemary Foundation

The Primrose Piano Quartet at last year’s festival

Music lovers can enjoy the 2018 West Meon Music Festival and support a local charity at the same time.

This year’s festival, from 14th -16th September 2018 at venues in West Meon and Warnford, has once again chosen The Rosemary Foundation as its main charity.

The event includes a Viennese-themed concert on Friday, 14th September at St John the Evangelist Church in West Meon, Celtic music at the Thomas Lord pub on the Saturday and concerts with transport, the baroque and World War One themes over the weekend.

The Rosemary Foundation provides a ‘Hospice at Home’ service in East Hampshire for patients in the latter stage of life threatening conditions. Our service is free to patients and carers but we receive no statutory funding. Trust manager Jeremy Mitchell said: “We love the music festival and we are so grateful to organisers and ticket buyers for supporting us this year.”

Forthcoming Rosemary Trust fundraising events include the annual Quiz in October.

Festival tickets can be booked at www.westmeonmusic.co.uk.

Let me guess; the last six weeks have forced you out of routine!

Now the kids have gone back to school, we have put together 5 top tips to aid you in living the healthy lifestyle we all desire.

1

Write a Weekly Menu Plan Here is an interesting fact, the average household in the UK throws out 10% of the food from the weekly shop. This happens because people buy food and products they don’t need, due to failing to plan each meal.

Instead, we advise that before you go shopping, write a food list based on the healthy, nutritious meals you will be eating from your weekly menu plan. That way, you will not feel tempted to purchase any ‘naughty’ snacks.

Kill the Snacking Have your breakfasts become early lunches? Have your dinners become larger with a few added snacks in-between? If so, we advise that you set an eating routine to ensure you are eating the correct foods at the right time, while providing your body with enough calories and nutrients to support your goals.

Take Supplements The three essential supplements that are perfect for staying healthy this Autumn are those that will reduce any deficiencies, limit inflammation, and improve your immunity.

The most beneficial vitamins are Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin B2.

Working out with friends or family can be fun and motivating. Eating well and finding people who understand your journey will help you achieve your goals more efficiently.

Evening/Morning Walks Walking is simple, yet powerful. It can help you stay trim, improve cholesterol, strengthen bones while also lifting your mood.

3. Set Clear Goals

1. Share Your Passion with Your Team Have you ever had a boss who was simply going through the motions without much care for anything they did? It was probably an uphill battle to be productive when your leader wasn’t pulling their weight and showing enthusiasm for their role.

Researchers in their study found that leaders who showed passion for their work were more motivating and energising to be around.

So, aim to get in touch with what makes your job meaningful to you. Then, communicate this excitement with your employees by sharing your personal goals, projects you’re eager to work on, or the mission you, your department, or your company stands for.

The more transparent you are with the “why” behind everything you do, the more likely people will be convinced to get excited and involved.

4. Offer Opportunities for Self-Development The members of your team will be more valuable to your organisation and to themselves, when they have opportunities to learn new skills.

Finally, keep in mind that everyone’s different, and what works in motivating one employee may not necessarily work for another. So, when you’re struggling to figure out how to motivate employees, they best thing you can do is ask them.

We hope you have found these tips useful.

You can now successfully create your very own ‘DREAM TEAM!’

2. Make Learning a Priority The study also shows that energising leaders create environments that are intellectually stimulating. This means sharing your knowledge and experience with your team and being open to learning from others and receiving feedback. This also means encouraging open dialogue, creativity, and the questioning of assumptions. A team that engages in frequent, honest conversations is also likely to generate higher quality solutions to problems.

Business advice pages

Top Tips on Getting the Best From your Team

In one study, 63 percent of employees reported that they wasted time at work because they weren’t aware of what work was a priority, and what wasn’t. As a leader, it’s your job to work with the members of your team to set clear goals. And once you do that, make sure everyone knows exactly what those goals are, what their relative priority is, and what the team’s role is in reaching them.

LOCAL WALKS WIT HIN

HA MP SH IRE

From open down lands, ancient woodlands, to charming villages and attractive coastlines.

There are plenty of beautiful walking trails to visit within Hampshire.

St Catherine’s Hill This walk starts from Garnier Road Winchester, SO23 9PA. You will have chance to explore Winchester itself, a historic bustling cathedral city, before the walk passes through the tranquil water meadows and along the River Itchen. The route then climbs St Catherine’s Hill, the site of an ancient hill fort which provides stunning views across the city, before descending and continuing along another stretch of the river and back to the city. To find the map for this walking route visit www.hiwwt.org.uk.

Holly Bank Woods Hollybank Woods is just North of Emsworth at the end of Holly Bank Lane, PO10 7EU. The woods are managed day to day by the Friends of Hollybank Woods for conservation and forestry on behalf of Havant Borough Council. The area comprises 157 acres of mostly mature broadleaved woodland, with a younger conifer forestry plantation and groups of conifer stands. Feel free to wonder on different trails in the woods, who knows what you might come across!

Beaulieu Food Trail Explore the beautiful Hampshire village of Beaulieu, before following the Beaulieu River south to the shipbuilding village of Bucklers Hard. The Trail starts from Palace Lane, Brockenhurst, SO427YG and is 2.2 miles each way. But, your day out can be as long or short as you like. To find the map for this walking route visit www.thenewforest.co.uk.

Brockenhurst to Lyndhurst This 6.5-mile walk starts at Hollands Wood in Brockenhurst, SO42 7QH, winding through wildlife-rich forests to Beechen Lane in Lyndhurst. Look out for deer and ponies as you make your way north towards the ‘capital’ of the New Forest.

To find the map for this walking route visit www.thenewforest.co.uk.

Hayling Billy Trail The Hayling Billy Coastal Path is a track used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders along the bed of an old railway line between Havant and Hayling Island. The Hayling Billy Trail starts in the car park of Havant train station.

Follow the clearly marked cycle path to New Lane and through the crossing gates. You may of course join the trail at numerous points along the way. The Ship Inn at Langstone is a wonderful place to stop for drinks or a bite to eat on route. To find the map for this walking route visit www.walkandcycle.co.uk.

Thinking about adding more physical activity to your day? Walking can also be a great way to get more active!

A NEW LODGE HAS BEEN BUILT FOR THE PUPILS OF EAST MEON PRIMARY SCHOOL A stunning new addition to an East Hampshire school is now open after five years of fundraising and hard work.

A crowd of around 20 supporters, donors and friends from East Meon, gathered outside for the opening ceremony and blessing.

“The pupils squealed with delight once the ribbon had been cut.”

instead. The lodge will host the school’s breakfast and after-school clubs. It is also an ideal space for interventions and periods when emotional support is needed. Headteacher, Jenny Fenton, thanked everyone for their support!

She States: “The children had a look inside! The squeal of delight from the pupils indicated that everyone was happy with it. It’s a space of tranquillity and enjoyment. All the hard work, resilience and determination the

Work started on the £89,000 building early this year, but the aspirations were very different when the fundraising began. The original hope was to build an extension to the school hall.

But, the anticipated costs and wait prompted a rethink with the school deciding to create a ‘breakout room’

community has put into creating the lodge, has resulted in a beautiful space that will benefit children for many years to come.”

ANNUAL MEON VALLEY CHARITY RIDE Cyclists of all ages and abilities joined a fundraising tour around Meon Valley and The Forest of Bere. Hundreds of people took to the saddle, choosing between 10 and 25-mile alternatives.

The 10-mile option via World’s End, Southwick and Furzeley Corner was relatively easy. But, the alternative was not for the faint-hearted. The 25-mile route was extremely challenging, even for the experienced cyclist.

The course, like the 10-mile option, began and finished at The Harvest Home, but it took a series of tough climbs around Butser Hill, Winchester Hill and Teglease Down. The event was open to anybody of any age and ability!

“The idea was to have fun and to raise money for two good and deserving causes,” said the organising commitee.

Organisers split the proceeds from the ride, between Hannah’s Holiday Home Appeal and The Roberts Centre.

For those who didn’t know, Hannah’s Holiday Home Appeal is a Horndean based charity, providing holiday accommodation to families of children with life-threatening illnesses.

While the Roberts Centre provide temporary housing to support homeless families and children in Portsmouth.

It was a fabulous event, and one which will be held again next year!
