Welcome Motoring News

Letter from the editor Many years ago when I lived in Belgium, I spent the best part of a day in Ypres. As we spend August marking the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War, it is perhaps somewhat fitting to remind everyone about the simple but proud ceremony that our neighbours carry out for us every evening in the name of those who never returned.

never identified or never found, and the names of the missing are carved into the walls of the nearby Menin Gate. At 8pm - as they do at the same time every evening rain or shine the buglers from the local volunteer Ypres Fire Brigade sound the Last Post under the Menin Gate.

When you are in Ypres, you begin to get an idea of the enormity of what happened. Nothing, however can prepare you for the row after row of meticulously-kept gravestones that you will see.

As we mark the 100 years here in Winchester, perhaps it is fitting to recognise the living ceremony that takes place every evening to remember the missing. I urge a visit; they are very proud of what they do and they would love to see you one day.

You read the names on the stones, you see their regiments. Many were based here in Hampshire. More importantly, you see their ages. 18, 19, 20... some of the men were

Just under 2,000 people participated in the poll on the company’s website – www.motorpoint.co.uk.

'No' to car black boxes The overwhelming majority of motorists want to shelve EU plans to introduce so-called ‘spy boxes’ in cars according to a new poll by Motorpoint. A web-based survey by the UK car supermarket found 71.5% per cent of drivers opposed regulations that will see ‘black boxes’ built into all new cars from October 2015 to monitor individual’s speed as well as driving habit.

Hampshire Police - 'no more cuts possible without compromising safety' The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Simon Hayes has commented on the HMIC ‘Policing in Austerity: Meeting the Challenge’ report that has found police forces in England and Wales have met the financial challenge of the spending review. He says it needs to be noted by government that the police has 'done its bit' in times of austerity, and that should be it.

The “telematics” technology would keep track Big Brother style of how fast their customers drive, how hard they brake and how many journeys a year they take. It is based on the eCall system that is used by a number of car manufacturers to make it easier for the emergency services to track crashed vehicles. Anyone who refuses to have a ‘black box’ fitted retrospectively to an existing vehicle could see a spike in “It is reassuring that the HMIC has judged Hampshire Constabulary to be in a good position to deliver the savings and it has congratulated all forces for meeting this challenge while ensuring crime still falls, victim satisfaction goes up and frontline services are protected as much as possible. "However, the reality is that by 2017 the Constabulary will have had £80 million of cuts imposed on it. The most recent cuts of £25 million by 2017 will result in losing in the region of 500 staff and officers. county investment of £175,000.

their insurance premiums as a result. Furthermore, motorists won’t be able to switch off the device and testing is expected to form part of the MoT. Mark Carpenter is Managing Director of Motorpoint: “You can’t argue with the benefits of a device being used to make it easier for the emergency services to track a vehicle but the results of our poll are definitive – UK drivers don’t want costly Big Brother style devices attached to their cars which have the potential to track their movements 24/7.”

“These are extremely difficult and challenging times for the force and have meant an extensive review of how policing is delivered across Hampshire and Isle of Wight. "As a result of the review, I have insisted that neighbourhood policing remains at the core of the policing. "The force has responded to this through its plans that include boundaries being redrawn to improve partnership working and PCSO numbers maintained. "Fundamental to delivering this is my Estate Strategy which will ensure a cost effective estate that supports future policing in facilities, which are fit for purpose and places policing in the heart of the community. “Going forward I question the extent to which more savings can be made through a future spending review before the quality of service is significantly affected and public safety is put at risk.”

The story of a WW1 soldier from Winchester is now being featured on the National Army Museum's new commemorative website. The experiences of Regimental Sergeant-Major Harrington, a Distinguished Conduct Medal recipient, is the second in a series of soldiers' stories to be highlighted by the Museum. Extensive extracts from letters Sergeant-Major Harrington wrote to his wife from training camps and the Western Front give fascinating insight into the daily life of a local soldier in the Army during the War, whilst photos of Harrington and his wife bring their story to life. The tale is also a rather sad one,

as Harrington did not survive the war. He was killed by a shell at Ypres, never getting to meet his second child born in April, 1915. Here's a sample of his words, written in August 1914, when he had been re-called to his unit in London: ‘It is pretty certain that we shall not be allowed home as before… Everything is going very well but of course I am slogging 12 hours a day and will have to do so for a while…It looks as if the greatest

battle in the history of the world will soon be in progress. ‘We are still awaiting our orders to move and have as yet, little idea as to when we shall march. The battalion was again called upon for foreign service. The result has not yet been published. I hope to be able to see you at least once more before we move… 'My work doesn’t get any lighter but as it is successful I must, in present circumstances, be quite

content. Now, my darling, please keep the society of those people in the neighbourhood whom we know. By such means as these you will minimize the feelings of loneliness and the inclination to mope… 'Please believe that you and my lovely child are constantly in my thoughts and that I pray to God for your protection. Should you ever feel miserable pray to him and bear in mind the many

thousands of other women who, are in many ways, in worse plight than you, and also that we must all bear something for the sake of Mother England’. Harrington’s body was never recovered but his name was later listed on the Menin Gate Memorial at Ypres. With thanks to Laura Gordon at the National Army Museum.

Young Winchester swimmers honoured at awards ceremony turns up every week smiling and excited: "He has worked incredibly hard over the past year exceeding all expectations and making rapid progress. "It has been a joy to watch him improve and work hard at every new task he is set.”

Two Winchester boys have been presented with a top award by Olympic gold medallist Duncan Goodhew for making waves in the pool. They won Achiever of the Year accolades at this year’s Southern Water Learn to Swim awards which took place at Mountbatten Leisure Centre. 6-year old Danny Davis isfrom South View in Winchester. His swimming teacher Cathy Kirby says Danny is awe-inspiring for such a young lad: "He has a strong affinity with the water, always applies himself and is determined to never give up on any challenge. "He continues to progress and achieve, increasing his stamina and water skills. He is inspirational and is a delight to have in the group.” 9-year old Jacob Marsland has Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. His swimming teacher Ashia Fenwick says Jacob

The pair were among 25 swimmers to win an award, receiving medals and goodie bags while cheered on by families and swimming instructors. After the prize-giving, guests enjoyed afternoon tea and then entertainment by the Big Bite-Size Plays Factory performing their Southern Watercommissioned show Down The Toilet. Duncan Goodhew is a long-time ambassador of the Southern Water Learn to Swim scheme: “We are here to celebrate the most committed swimmers, the best examples of courage – the award winners have either overcome something or are showing great tenacity and talent. These children have put Olympic effort and Olympic courage into swimming. What a great day.” Southern Water’s Helen Sparkes runs the Learn to Swim programme, and says the event is always a highlight for everyone involved: "The award-winners are inspirational and I’d like to congratulate them all and thank everyone who supports the programme.”

around on the front cover. Upload. Pay (£15). Quick delivery to your front door via UPS.

We can't remember how we discovered this one, even though it was only 3 weeks ago! But what a great find. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into this one. Mosaic is available on iOS and Android.

Hampshire treasure on display in the Netherlands.

The buckle was found in the grave of an AngloSaxon warrior with a sword, shield boss, spear heads and numerous small items.

One of Hampshire’s internationally important Anglo-Saxon treasures has gone on display in the Dutch city of Leiden.

The finds from Hampshire’s pagan Saxon cemeteries, together with those found during excavations of the Saxon settlements in Southampton and Winchester, are of international significance.

The Alton Buckle, discovered in the mid 1960s, and usually on show in the town’s Curtis Museum, is spending the summer in the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities as part of its ‘Golden Middle Ages’ exhibition. The showcase marks the fact that the Rijnsburg buckle was found in the Netherlands 100 years ago. It brings together more than 500 exquisite pieces from around the globe including Childric’s sword, on loan from Paris. The exhibition runs until 26 October, and as well as status symbols and weapons of war, it will also highlight home life and aspects of childhood from the period. To fill the gap left by the Alton Buckle, a replica has been acquired and put in its place until early November when the genuine article will be returned to its rightful home.

What we like: • The simplicity of operation; • The packaging; • The messages from the company about delivery; • The overall presentation and little touches (you'll see!).

This time around it's the Mosaic Picture Book.

The objects on display at the Curtis Museum are part of Hampshire County Council’s archaeology collection, which is cared for by a team of specialists at Chilcomb House in Winchester.

In this day and age it's so easy to take amazing pics - which are then stuck on your phone. So, how about a 20-page book that lets you remember the event in style?

The county's culture spokesman Keith Chapman says the Alton Buckle is the finest piece of Anglo-Saxon craftsmanship to have been found in Hampshire: "It's amongst the most beautiful and accomplished Anglo-Saxon pieces to have been found outside the famous Sutton Hoo burial.

So simple, so clever... this app allows you to choose 20 images from your phone which are then uploaded to create a beautifully presented hardback book. The print is clear (even from 2 of the images which weren't original and were from Facebook), the paper is high quality and the colours are excellent.

"It's a privilege to lend it to the Dutch National Museum and I hope many people from around the world will take the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Alton Buckle.”

You can even shuffle the 'mosaic' of pictures

Hampshire firefighters have beaten the world record for the largest naan. The final record-breaker created at the Eastleigh Mela measured 3.79 metres by 1.4 metres and weighed a hefty 26 kilograms. The target was to cook a naan bread at least 3 metres by 1.2 metres. The naan was sold to the public with chicken curry (donated by Sanjha Restaurant) for £3 each. We raised several hundred pounds which will be split and donated to The Fire Fighters Charity, the Water Wells Project and the Hampshire Hurracanes. The aptly-named Dave Curry (Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Deputy Chief Officer) says they

couldn't have done it on their own: “This was a genuine team effort, with great commitment shown by all involved. I would like to recognise the support from Serco and Homebase, which enabled us to take part in the challenge.

DELIVERY AGENTS REQUIRED We need delivery agents for the following areas:

"My thanks also go to the Mela organisers the Asian Welfare and Cultural Association for allowing us to undertake this record attempt as part of the Eastleigh Mela.” “It was through the combined skills and hard work of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service staff and those from Sanjha and the Badhi Mirchi Restaurants, that we were able to take on and achieve this challenge.”

BADGER FARM OLIVER’S BATTERY STANMORE BISHOP’S WALTHAM CHANDLERS FORD

Dave says it was a great achievement on all levels: “As well as the fun side of achieving the record and the added value of raising money for worthwhile charities we also showed the great relationships we have in the area to make things happen in the best

interests of our communities.” The previous record for the largest naan bread measured 2.89 metres by 1 metre and weighed 9.5 kg (20lb 15oz).

New Extension At Peter Symonds Meets Interest Surge In Biology

used by Chemistry students. The extension is also being used currently by students participating in the Authentic Biology Project. This project sees them carrying out practical work, at postgraduate level, in a development organised in partnership with Southampton University and funded by The Wellcome Trust.

£500+ raised for 'Help For Heroes' charity, in memory of estates team member David Chadwick, and the provision of practical help and materials to the Biology Department for building several nest boxes, including three swift boxes discreetly incorporated in the build.

Mike Richards is Head of Biology, and says the growth has been huge: "In 2001, we had 219 students who completed A Level Biology, Human Biology or Social Biology at Peter Symonds College. In 2013, the Biology Department entered over 1000 students for A Level or AS Level, a far larger A Level exam entry from one subject than many 11-18 schools have in total. "This growth in the popularity of Biology means that the Science Centre now no longer houses other science related topics such as Psychology. Physics too is now housed elsewhere on the campus because Chemistry experienced similar growth and an extension became a necessity.

Students at Peter Symonds now have a bit more room to shine with the opening of the new Science Extension. Professor Lindy Holden-Dye, who's Professor of Neuroscience at Southampton University, officiated at the opening. The Principal, Stephen Carville, was joined at the ceremony by the architect, the contractors, the College’s former Head of Science Dr

Colin Rees, as well as other members of the Senior Management Team, staff and students. The extension is made up of four purpose built prefabricated modular units. The ground floor has two large laboratories which are used continuously for the majority of the year by AS classes. There is also a new student workroom where students can get 1:1 academic support from staff and student mentors throughout the day. There are two further laboratories on the upper floor are

"Part of the reason for this increase in numbers are the astoundingly good results that students produce each year; 73% got B or above for Biology A Level in each of the last two years and a stunning 22% got A* grade in 2013, with one of our students scoring the top mark in the country.

"Students from the College also compete in the Science Olympiads and regularly reach the national, or international, finals of the Biology Olympiad competition.”

The department also offers a wide range of extra opportunities to students. In addition to The Authentic Biology Project and The Biology Olympiad, Biology runs an Anatomy and Physiology course and

From September, Perins School in Alresford will be making some dramatic changes to the structure of its science department enabling it to embrace the new Key Stage 3 curriculum.

Sarah says they want to give more support the students in their GCSE examinations and encourage more children to consider science careers.

Current Head of Science, Jo Davies, will be concentrating more on teaching. Her role is being taken over by Sarah Henderson.

As with all subjects at Perins, the new science team will be supporting literacy in science and the use of e-learning across the whole curriculum. The team has developed a full learning support programme that gives students access to course materials through the internet.

Jo started work at Perins back in 1989 and has been the department head for nearly 20 years: "I am now looking forward to getting back to doing the part of the job I really enjoy – teaching students”.

However, the students at Perins are not just embracing the digital age as the school has

Safety promised at station Winchester MP Steve Brine says further positive progress is being made to address issues around late night safety at the city’s railway station. The MP says he has been working with South West Trains, as well as both city and county councillors, to address various issues raised at a special ASKSWT public meeting he organised last year. The event saw SWT Managing Director, Tim Shoveller, and other senior managers from the company take questions from regular users of the station.

Mr Brine says specific concerns were raised at the time: "Disabled access to both platforms as well as a chronic lack of parking spaces. We’ve been able to answer both those points through the opening this month of the footbridge with its lift access plus the new decked car park which has brought a 20% increase in parking online.” However, it was concerns around safety, especially for passengers arriving back into Winchester late at night, which also needed addressing. Winchester Station is currently

"South West Trains are working really hard on all of this and are still progressing with plans to increase the opening hours at Winchester. Part of that I am pleased to say is a trial over the next fortnight to open the booking hall on Platform 2 on Sunday Thursday nights to provide an alternative exit from the station.”

News from Winchester Today's nominated charity Poignant rent payment for Naomi House

daughter, Naomi, after whom the hospice was named, and elder daughter Rosemary who normally resides in New Zealand. At a small ceremony at Sutton Manor Nursing home, owned by the Cornelius-Reid family and situated close to the children’s hospice, Naomi accepted a beautiful bouquet of roses from 13 year old Connor. Connor, who stays at the hospice for respite care, was aided by the Naomi House nursing team as he presented Naomi with the hospice’s rent.

A 13 year old from Andover has helped Naomi House children’s hospice pay the charity’s unusual annual rent to its generous landlords. Until her death in January of this year, Naomi House & Jacksplace paid an annual rent of twelve red roses to its landlady, Mary CorneliusReid, each Midsummer’s Day. This year the responsibility for receiving the rent fell to Mrs. Cornelius-Reid’s youngest

Chris Robinson is Chief Executive at the Naomi House and Jacksplace: “Mary Cornelius-Reid was a great lover of tradition and it is wonderful that we can keep this tradition alive. "It is a special day for Naomi House and we look forward to welcoming the Cornelius-Reid family to Naomi House next Midsummer’s Day to receive our rent payment and see our newly refurbished building.” When it was decided to build Naomi House nearly two decades ago, the charity struggled to find a suitable and affordable location on which to site the hospice.

generously offered the land next to her care home, Sutton Manor, in Sutton Scotney. The only conditions upon this long lease were that Naomi House be named after her youngest daughter Naomi, and the charity pay a rent of one dozen red roses each year, traditionally on Midsummer’s Day. Naomi House & Jacksplace hospices care for life-limited and life-threatened children and their families from across central southern England. Naomi House hospice is currently closed for major refurbishment and the charity is in the process of raising more than £4 million to complete the building work.

Hospice celebrates THIRD generous airline donation The airline Ryanair has made a third sizable donation to local hospices for children and young adults, Naomi House and Jacksplace. The donation comes hot on the heels of two similar donations - totalling more than €20,000 - which were the result of the sale of the airline’s ‘Play to Win’ scratchcards to passengers travelling across Europe.

with a community arts project exploring Stanmore’s history. Launching the event, the Mayor told ofher personal connection with Stanmore via her husband’s family - and how it was important to contribute her own story to the project. Cllr Berry recalls her memories: “When I first came to the estate, I thought it was posh, because they had a dining room. The houses were modern and very comfortable.”

New Winchester Facilities Opened Although passengers have been able to use the new footbridge at Winchester station for some time, the latest facilities there have now been officially opened. The passengers travelling from Winchester station are now benefitting from an improvement scheme that cost nearly £4m. There's improved access and more than 100 extra car parking spaces at the station, increasing the total number of parking spaces by 25%. Steve Brine, MP for Winchester and Sam McCarthy, Commercial Director of the South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance, officially opened the new station footbridge and car park. A £2m scheme, delivered as part of the Government’s Access for All programme, to provide a new footbridge and lifts at the station will provide improved access for the 4.5 million people using Winchester station every year.

In addition, a new decked car park has now been opened at the station providing more than 100 extra spaces for passengers. The £1.7m scheme, funded and promoted by the Department for Transport’s Station Commercial Property Fund has also enabled new decked car parks to open at Fleet and Farnborough stations. Transport minister Baroness Kramer says the work at Winchester w i l l m a ke a real difference to passengers: " M o r e people than ever before are using our railways, and we are committing £38bn over the next five years to improve and maintain the network.”

Steve Brine MP for Winchester and Chandler’s Ford says he's really pleased with the improvements which take Winchester Station forward: "When I became the MP here disabled passengers sometimes got a taxi from one side of the platform to the other and I remember raising this in Parliament as we bid for Government money under the Access for All scheme that has funded the new footbridge and lifts. I think it fits in really well, looks as if it was always here. “The new decked car park is also a major improvement and while we take seriously the walk and cycle routes into Winchester station, I also represent many rural areas outside the city who are I know delighted with the new capacity.

Ryanair Head of Communications, Robin Kiely, says he’s delighted to offer continued support to Naomi House and Jacksplace: “They both do so much to help children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. “The hospice is one of many charities across Europe to receive ongoing donations from Ryanair’s scratchcards, where our customers have the chance to win fabulous prizes, while helping out such worthy causes. We send our best wishes to all at Naomi House and Jacksplace.” Mark Smith is the Deputy Chief Executive at Naomi House and Jacksplace: “Once again Ryanair have delighted the team at our hospices with an extremely generous donation. “We are extremely grateful to Ryanair’s staff and customers for the ongoing support they offer the children, young people and families in our care.” Ryanair’s scratchcards are very popular with passengers who have a chance to win prizes of cash, luxury cars, or to scoop a cool €1 million – all for a stake of just €2, with ongoing charity donations made across Europe.

Laurence Dubé-Rushby, a French artist, is working within the estate to collect images and stories from Stanmore people at her base at the former library in Wavell Way. Her aim is to create an artistic timeline representing Stanmore’s history to feature on the hoardings around the Queen’s Head development site by the end of August. Laurence will be at the library shop on Tuesdays from 10am to 6pm until " Th e f i n a l p a r t o f t h e s e improvements is to now drive through the new footpath leading from the car park out onto the Andover Road so this event was a good chance to get an update in that respect.

AUGUST 2014 WINCHESTER TODAY

REVIEW: Lion King, Mayflower 16 July, 2014 The King Comes To Town - David Cradduck is amazed by this spectacular show! The long awaited first UK tour of Disney’s Lion King has arrived in Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre for a two month stint before moving on to Sunderland and Cardiff. How to describe this show? Overheard on the way out: “Stunning”. “Amazing”. “Brilliant”. Difficult to argue with any of those accolades, and given the packed house and standing ovation at the curtain call, it’s easy to see that this spectacular show, well known and loved, and now in its 15th year at The Lyceum in London, has lost none of its energy, colour and splendor on the road. I am informed by a reliable source that it takes in excess of twenty big trucks to transport all the King’s kit around the country – it is therefore easy to see why it is playing for such relatively long runs at a small bunch of venues, given the set-up time and baggage they cart around with them. It must take acres of space to house and move the costumes alone, let alone some fairly big pieces of set, enough lights to compete with Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage and some truly awesome puppets. Oh, yes – those puppets. It took

Review

me all of 20 seconds to conjure up the adjective ‘surreal’ where this puppetry – on a grand scale – is concerned. What is equally bizarre is the puppets blend into the characters, the characters into the costumes the costumes into the set; it is tricky to work out where one ends and another begins, it all mixes so well. Bicycles merge with leaping antelope, grass grows atop dancers heads, giant tropical plants and animals come to life and Disney cartoon characters are brought to life with equally colourful and bizarre actors/puppeteers (if you can’t hide them, then flaunt them, someone must have decided from the start). There isn’t an inch of the theatre and it is no small venue, remember - that isn’t used: two of the audience boxes hold percussionists whilst the audience in another two share their space with actors; the aisles in the stalls, carefully checked for obstructions beforehand, appear full of animals, birds and some on a massive scale – it’s not every day an elephant saunters past you with its young in tow. The whole theatre becomes a cacophony of sound, colour and musical atmosphere, with some pretty impressive effects thrown in for good measure. This is theatre on a very elaborate scale. The dressing rooms must be an interesting place to be. The number of delicate but hugely striking scene changes with numerous backdrops, complex and cumbersome costumes is only equalled by a spectacular lighting plot that must run to many

pages and which lights the auditorium as well as the stage. The overall effect? Stunning, amazing, brilliant. Catchy Elton John/ Tim Rice music wrapped up with evocative African rythms, a superb singing and dancing ensemble working as one, a festival atmosphere that beats the animated film hands down. Plot? A bit thin and predictable but who cares? This is family theatre at its best.

REVIEW: Oh Clarence! The Cheriton Players, Reviewed by Eleanor Marsden

Luckily for The Cheriton Players, Cheriton village does not mimic Blandings, the 1920s location for John Chapman’s dramatised re-telling of the popular P.G. Wodehouse tales. Unlike the fictional village, where everything ‘practically dies by 10.30!’, many enthusiastic Cheriton residents ventured out to enjoy the Players’ latest comedy, and were rewarded by an evening of energetic, well-timed and endearingly daft humour. Supported by a good script and as unhindered as possible by the summer heat, the cast of thirteen had clearly gelled well and had a lot of fun inhabiting Blandings. Whilst all should be commended, there was perhaps a tendency from the male actors to embrace the characterisation of their roles more fully. However, the audience showed their appreciation throughout, with many – including newcomer Craig Robb as Rupert / ‘Beefy’ – receiving spontaneous applause during the action. Richard Perkins in particular stole many of his scenes as pompous ‘pignapper’, Sir Gregory Parsloe Parsloe, with a suitably villainous laugh and imposing stage presence, whilst Charlie Hellard maintained excellent form as the joyously unflappable Freddie Threepwood, making much of both the spoken and physical comedy of the part. David Cradduck as the put-upon

Clarence of the title also gave a charming and well-rounded performance as the selectively dotty Lord Emsworth, aided by long-suffering butler, Beach (Paddy Roadnight), who delighted the audience with his with wry interjections. A relatively lengthy first half might have been cut slightly; instead there was a tendency to rattle through early dialogue and leave fewer pauses for audience laughter than were needed. Bringing the curtain down between the long scene changes was slightly disconcerting for the audience, but

successfully allowed the backstage team to transform the stage into various parts of Blandings Castle. Tim Day should be congratulated not only as Director, but on his fairly ambitious and imaginative set which brought Blandings to life despite the very limited space. The usual difficulties with a lack of raked seating did however mean that a few gags ocurring lower down or with actors asleep were sometimes lost. Risking comparison with the recent TV series, Blandings, the group nevertheless managed to make the characters their own and breathed new life into the expected farce.

Although undoubtedly ambitious, the Players’ exuberant interpretation proved that this sort of comedy has

become their trademark with very good reason.

Lapping it up in Lyme Editor Kevin Gover takes a stroll along the Dorset Coast

Graham’s Mowing & Gardening

Two things about Lyme were always predictable. In November you could always get the best seat in the best coffee shop at 10 in the morning while other tourists struggled with the cold. If there was a storm, you would ALWAYS see a picture of waves battering Marine Parade on the front page of the Daily Telegraph the next morning.

Annual maintenance and ‘One-Off’ work. Grounds maintenance and garden care.

Let's face it, the baking weather in Winchester has led most of us to crave for the beach. Others are nearer, of course, but if you leave Winchester at 8 in the morning you can be in Lyme by 10.

A Dorset Cream tea almost anywhere, a gentle stroll around the harbour, a walk on top of The Cobb and splashing through the waves on the beach... my trip in July was very pleasant indeed. And ÂŁ2 to park the car. That's not ÂŁ2 per hour. ÂŁ2 for the whole Sunday.

I would also encourage you to go on the 'back' roads too - through Stockbridge, Salisbury and Blandford. Far more pleasant.

Me? I'll see you there on a wet Wednesday in November too. Lyme is the perfect chill-out zone at any time of year.

The Cobb Gate Fish Bar at the junction of Marine Parade and Broad Street does the best fish and chips I have ever tasted. But all the fish and chip shops are good. After all, the fish doesn't have to come very far. Just don't try to sit on the beach and eat them. The seagulls have already seen you coming.

Checking Early For Cancer

Pupils in Winchester have had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer and other types first hand as a leading breast cancer campaigner came to the city. Winchester & Chandler’s Ford MP Steve Brine organised for 28-year old Kris Hallenga - who has a terminal diagnosis of secondary breast cancer - to bring her charity CoppaFeel to all three secondary schools in the city. Kris and her team of ‘boobettes’ are on a mission to stamp out late detection of breast cancer and used the visit to launch their #rethink cancer campaign which aims to see schools routinely teach young people about the signs and symptoms of cancer as part of the PSHE syllabus. They recently took their campaign to

Westminster where Mr Brine hosted a reception for MPs to put the issue on Ministers’ agenda. The day began at The Westgate School where they spoke to 240 Year 10 pupils and moved onto The Kings School where some 330 students from year 9 saw the presentation. They finished at Henry Beaufort School addressing around 75 Year 10 students. All were mixed sessions as men can get breast cancer too. Steve also arranged for the group to have a lunch meeting at the University of Winchester hosted by Vice Chancellor Prof Joy Carter. Kris and her team met with members from the faculty of Education and the Students’ Union about their charity and the #rethink cancer agenda and a pilot scheme with trainee teachers will be developed with the University for, what is hoped will be a national

roll-out in due course. After the tour of Winchester city schools finished, Kris spoke about her experience: “We’ve just finished our Winchester day, having taken in all three schools. Today has been amazing and everyone’s been so supportive.

and if just one person, or a member of their family, is helped by what we are doing, it will be worth it."

A short-film of the day is available at www.stevebrine.tv and you can learn more about CoppaFeel! and sign up for text alerts at www.coppafeel.org

"The young people have been awesome and I think we’ve done well as they seem to have really taken in what we had to say about cancer and breast cancer. It’s been good, really, really good.� Steve Brine is co-chair of the All Party Breast Cancer Group in Parliament and says the subject is one close to his heart; “This is a subject I feel so passionately about and as soon as I met Kris I wanted to help her and the charity she leads. "This day was more than any of us could have hoped for, especially the response from Joy Carter at the University. I hope the young people we met found it interesting and useful

Sport Hampshire athletes stand tall at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow despite disappointment

Eleven Hampshire athletes supported by Hampshire County Council have competed for their home nation in Glasgow for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

For more information on the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme visit: www.sporthampshireiow.co.uk/ talentedathletes Current or former members of the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme selected for the Games included:

The Games followed on from Hampshire’s outstanding success at the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games where athletes from the county hauled 10% of the GB medal total.

The Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme is funded by Hampshire County Council and co-ordinated by Sport Hampshire & IoW and aims to help Hampshire’s athletes reach world class podiums. More than 200 people have been given funding or support through the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme (HTAS) for 2014. Funds have been doubled thanks to Hampshire County Council’s Olympic Legacy Programme, which was launched in July 2013 with the help of Hampshire-based Olympic gold medal cyclist Dani King. HTAS has been given £92,000 per year for the next three years as an investment in Hampshire’s talented athletes as part of the Legacy Programme. A new element to the HTAS scheme is the expansion of the athlete assemblies. This programme was piloted in 2012 with athletes visiting schools to speak about their sporting experiences and the upcoming the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The success of this pilot led to the Council providing further investment and this term more than 50 assemblies have

Feedback from both the schools and the athletes has been hugely positive and plans are underway for future assemblies in the new academic term. Olympic gold medal cyclist Dani King MBE won the cycling team pursuit gold at the London 2012 Olympics. As a teenager she cycled at the County Council’s Calshot Activities Centre, in the New Forest, before going on to achieve Olympic and World Championship cycling success.

After another early catch, Taunton's highest partnership of 42, for the second wicket, was broken by Pete Newman (2-32). Wickets fell at regular intervals, with Will Hughes (2-16) and Josh Poulter (2-8) starring in the middle overs. At 124-9 with 13 overs remaining, opening bowler and captain Harry Foyle (2-32) returned to the attack. Despite the first 2 balls of the over being driven for 4, he completed the victory by removing off stump. The Symonds cricket manager Ben Farndon says it was a fantastic day: “It is great to have retained the Trophy, especially as last year’s win was the first for the College in 32 years. Harry has captained the team really well during the year, and it’s fitting he took the winning wicket."
