May 2018 Area Editions: Petersfield Edition Dist: 8,200 Dear Readers, Positivity is in the air… We are pleased to celebrate the achievement of Joe Truman, from Petersfield, who won Silver in the Commonwealth Games. Joe forms a part of the GB Cycling Team and was awarded his medal in the Track Sprint. He used to work for The Directory Group as one of our distributors. This month, we are excited to celebrate the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who will tie the knot at Windsor Castle on the 19th May. Many of us have been following the love story through the media. Have an excellent day cheering on the newlyweds. The Royal Wedding is on the same day as the FA Cup Final so it’s a big day for those of you who love royalty and sport! Let’s not forget the birth of our new Prince, who is the third child and second son to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. There’s currently a lot of excitement within the Royal Family – it’s great. Within this edition we have a brilliant competition for you to win a family ticket to The Nostalgia Show, at the grounds of the gorgeous Stansted Park, Rowlands Castle, on 30th June to 1st July 2018. They are giving away two family tickets for a fabulous weekend of entertainment. The new show will allow you to experience a magical step back in time, while viewing an incredible selection of classic cars, shop vintage style, dine on British street food and dance the day away all in one glorious setting. What’s there to lose? This May is National Walking Month. That’s why we have an article about the event and encouraging you to walk more. There’s also a couple of walking events in your local What’s On too. As always, thank you for keeping all things local.

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.

MONTH NATIONAL WALKING #WALKTHISMAY
Did you know that May is National Walking Month? Why not celebrate by walking your everyday journeys or organising a walk for charity! National Walking Month encourages people to get on their feet and trade their everyday journeys in for walks. Walking is the easiest, cheapest and most effective form of exercise, with numerous physical and mental benefits. Walking just 20 minutes a day can improve your physical health by increasing fitness levels, reducing blood pressure and building strong muscles. Walking also improves your mental health by giving you a time to enjoy life, reduce stress and reduce anxiety. There are many ways to get involved with National Walking Month. Living Streets is a national charity which works to create safe, attractive and enjoyable streets. Their objective is to create a walking nation, free from congested roads and pollution.
Living Streets encourage people to take a pledge, by either walking to school during the 21st25th May or participating in #Try20, which encourages you to add an extra 20 minutes of walking every day. By joining thousands of families across the UK in these pledges, you will help cut congestion, make roads safer for children, fight against air pollution and build more physical activity into your family’s day to day life. Hampshire landscape holds some of England’s most inspiring countryside and coastlines, which can be experienced easily by foot. Home to national parks such as the charming New Forest and the stunning South Downs, you’re sure to find a variety of routes within Hampshire that suit you. During May, the British Heart Foundation is urging people to support the 7 million people living with heart and circulatory disease in the UK, by taking part in Just Walk. By signing up for Just Walk, every step you take and every pound you raise will help beat heart disease, whilst also allowing you to celebrate the brilliant National Walking Month.

STAND UP
TO STRESS MEN DO NOT NEED TO FACE DEPRESSION ALONE Stress is something many men are affected by at some point in their life. By not controlling stress, mental health issues such as depression can arise. This month we highlight the issue depression, caused by stress, can have on men and how we can play a part in supporting. Typically, men are more vulnerable to the effects of stress as they may perceive depression as a weakness. Even though we are living in a society in which there has been so much change towards the gender perceptions of both male and female, emotion among many men continues to be regarded as instability. This is especially the case in developing countries where traditional gender roles are more strongly endorsed. In fact, while more women have suicidal thoughts, a greater number of men die by taking their own lives. Why? Many men are guilty for not truly expressing their emotion. They are known not to speak with each other about how they are feeling. Men may identify they are stressed but fail to address the problem.
The charity suggests men are twice as likely as women to have nobody to rely on for emotional support. This is the average to around one in ten men. But there are plenty of methods to gain support. Speaking to someone whom you trust can hugely help with addressing a concern with your mental health. Many specialists believe there is healing when telling people about what you are experiencing. Identifying what may be the route cause of your depression is also important; once you know why you feel the way you do, you can address the problem for the better. If you’re still feeling down or depressed after a couple of weeks, talk to your GP or call 111. We need to support every man who may be facing a mental health problem. If you believe you are experiencing a mental health problem, advice can be found at www.mind.org.uk. Information on dealing with depression can be found at www.nhs.uk.
Mind, the mental health charity, say one in three men (32%) have poor mental health because of their job. One in seven men (14%) say it’s problems outside of the workplace.

Top 1O activities to do this spring:
Start a Garden: Now that our gardens have blossomed with daffodils and bluebells, take some time to plant some beautiful summer-flowering bulbs during this season, such as dahlias, cannas and lilies.
2
Go for a walk: As the days get longer, you have more time to go on a walk before or after work. Whether its short or long, walking is great way to improve your physical and mental health!
3
4
Bike ride: It’s time to open the shed and dust off those bikes, as there are 1000’s of cycle routes throughout our beautiful Hampshire countryside to enjoy.
Make a smoothie bowl: Kick start your day with a healthy bowl of delicious goodness using seasonal fruits. Try blending your favourite fruits with some soy milk, ice and honey. To finish, top with granola, strawberries and honey! Go to the beach: By living in Hampshire, we almost forget how lucky we are to live by the beach. Spend a Saturday skipping pebbles across the waters of Southsea, Hayling Island and many more magnificent shores. Camping: Roast marshmallows over a warm fire after a long day of activities. Hampshire holds many camp sites to visit this spring, suitable for couples, families and our beloved dogs.
5 6 7 8 9
Visit a farm: A great day out for everyone no matter how young or old. Petting pigs, cuddling rabbits, feeding ducks and bottle-feeding lambs are just a few of the wonderful activities to do at a farm. Picnic: Dig in to your favourite snacks as you take in the beautiful views that our countryside offers. Remember to bring a few bin bags to dispose of your rubbish, in order to keep our countryside clean and our wildlife safe!
Volunteer at a local charity: Dedicate some of your time to help out at one of the brilliant charities within Hampshire. You’ll be sure to make a positive impact on our community whilst making lots of new friends along the way.

Waterlooville, Denmead, Purbrook & Widley • May 2018 Edition FAMILIES TO BE ENTERTAINED AT THE OVERLOAD SHOW Families will be entertained when given the opportunity relive British military history at a popular Denmead event later this month. The Overload Military Show, which will take place from Saturday 26th to Monday 28th May, will showcase hundreds of military vehicles and re-enactors from a wide period. In early 1944 troops and vehicles massed in the area around the Solent in preparation for D-Day. 74 years later the annual show captures the sights and sounds of that era.
This year the site will include a separate off-road course, with driving demonstrations provided by the Wessex Hillrunners 4x4 Club. There will be free parking within the grounds. Public opening hours are 9.30am to 5.30pm on each of the three days of the Bank Holiday Weekend. Admission is £10 per adult, £5 per child, seniors £8. A family ticket for 2 adults and 3 children (5 to 15 year old) is just £25. For more information on the event, go to: www.overlordshow.co.uk
This show depicts not only the Second World War, with themed events including a daily 1940’s fashion show and vintage funfair, but has vehicles, and living history groups representing conflicts from World War One through to the more recent Gulf War. Militaria traders from across the country will be in attendance. The weekend will have an excellent selection of food stands, as well as an onside beer tent allowing people to spend the whole day in the outdoors. ` A special demonstration of the vehicles and weaponry used in World War 2 will also please the crowds. Hounds for Heroes, Homes for Heroes, and the Spirit of Normandy Trust have been chosen as the charities in which the event will support.

COUNTRYSIDE WALK TO RAISE CASH FOR WATERLOOVILLE HOSPICE Hundreds of people are expected to participate in a fun sponsored dog walk for the Rowans Hospice, based in Waterlooville. The Woofs and Wellies spring walk will be held at Queen Elizabeth Country Park on Sunday 20th May, between 9am and 1pm. More than 300 dogs and their human best friends are expected to walk through the stunning countryside while raising cash for the hospice.
Local boxer is keen to take the world by storm after recent victory A local lad is dreaming of being the world’s best after an impressive National Elite Championship victory last month. Mark Chamberlain, 19, has rewritten the record books after being awarded a distinguished national title in his first season as a senior boxer. The Team Wiseman Boxing champion beat Kings Heath’s Akash Tuquir in his 60kg final at the York Hall in Bethnal Green with judges split on the win. The youngster has received a call from England after the win with an international outing earmarked for later in the summer.
There will be two choices of route on the day: a 3km and 5km walk. Anyone interested in attending the event should register their dog at the hospice’s website: www.rowanshospice.co.uk.
Billy Bessey, on Facebook, commented: “Well deserved too. Glad you’re staying amateur for a while yet Mark. Plenty of time for that plus you’ll learn far more fighting the world’s elite in the amateurs then by bashing up 2-77 pros that don’t even try to win.”
Raising money will be achieved by the registration of dogs costing £5 each. Walkers are being recommended to raise at least £25 of sponsorship money to support the work of the hospice.
It is 20 years since a boxer from the local area won the elite title while training at a local club. As Chamberlain joins the elite list, his coach Daron Wiseman has been left ecstatic by the result.
The Rowans Hospice provide the highest quality specialist end of life care. Their team support patients and those closest to them throughout the whole journey of an illness.
He said on social media: “What an amazing achievement. Overwhelmed at the support. Woken up feeling so proud it’s unreal.” The coach says the team have already received calls from professional ranks – but have no interest in them just yet. The boxer has desires to continue building a reputation in amateur boxing before moving on to professional boxing and wining a greater number of prestigious championships.
The hospice relies substantially on donations, so all money raised at this event will be poured back into their operations to support the community.
