Spitfires over Somborne!
The Basingstoke Ompha band kicked
off our 5th Beer and Music Festival
with a lively set and then during a fine
performance by Verwood Concert
Brass, we enjoyed not one but three
separate flypasts by two Spitfires (one
with clipped wings) en route to the
Biggin Hill Air show after appearing at
the Trooping the Colour in London
earlier that day. The band slipped
seamlessly into 633 Squadron as we
heard the distant but very distinctive
rumbling of the Merlin engine
approaching and as the last few notes
played out the two iconic planes
disappeared into the distance with a
wobble of their wings.
The afternoon entertainment ended
with a rousing session with about 30
ukulele’s from Southampton Ukulele
Jam (pictured below). In between we
were treated to some fascinating
displays of early Saxon history from
Weorod from Portsmouth whose
village encampment in the field also
attracted many visitors, and were
tempted by stalls offering hot and cold
snacks, cakes and even the chance to
hold a snake or a lizard.
For the evening
we moved inside
the Village Hall to
hear three great
local bands –
Badge, Black Pig and Ben Goddard
and throughout the
day the team from
the Crown Inn
were kept busy at
the bar which had
about a dozen fairly local real ales on
offer.
Having put on the festival for each of
the last five years now, we have
decided that we will take a year off
next year and probably just have a
smaller event in the garden at the
Crown. There are a number of reasons
for this:
Firstly, although it has raised funds for
the hall each year, the high costs of
staging the event (over £2,000) means
that it is very sensitive to numbers
paying the full ticket price. Just 50
people less this year would have
resulted in a loss. It’s great to see the
field full of people enjoying the
festival with family and friends but it
is hard to sustain the afternoon
entertainment when some people bring
their own food and drink and enjoy the
entertainment without buying a
ticket or visiting the bar.
The festival is sustainable provided
enough people contribute and we think
£10 is really excellent value for a
whole day of entertainment. This year
though, a number of people gave our
5
volunteers a hard time about the
prices. We cannot offer an evening
only price and be financially viable and
we do not want to encourage young
children in the evening. Children are
free during the afternoon when there
are plenty of things going on for them
to enjoy but they quickly become
bored at the evening concerts and
having them running around inside the
main hall and bar area would be a
distraction to others. Older children,
who want to come and listen to the
bands have always been very welcome
but they need to pay the full price for
the reasons noted above.
However, perhaps the main reason for
taking a year off is that it is difficult to
see what different acts to have next
year – both in the afternoon and the
evening - and we don’t want to simply
repeat what we had this year.
If you would like to help stage future
festivals please get in touch with me or
another member of the village hall

Update from the Methodists The latest news on the Methodist
Chapel and Epworth Hall is that the
drying out process has now finished
and work has started to repair damaged
woodwork. By the time you read this
the re-decoration should be well
underway and we’re hoping to be back
in operation sometime in August.
Thank you for your continued co-
operation and support.

Don’t delay: have your say
Hampshire County Council is looking
at ways to reduce the costs of their 24
Household Waste Recycling Sites run
by Hopkins Recycling Ltd. One
possibility, recently featured in the
Romsey Advertiser, would be to close
a number of sites, of which Bunny
Lane could be one. A public
consultation has been launched which
affords residents an opportunity to
express their opinions of the service
provided by this Hopkins ‘Site of the
Year’, which has recently been
refurbished. There are two channels of
response that residents may employ.
The HCC questionnaire may be
accessed through
www.hants.gov.uk/recycling or
Site staff suggest that messages of
satisfaction, appreciation and support
should also be sent to Hopkins at
[email protected]. One
immediate result of closure would be a
rapid increase in fly tipping. The other
disadvantages for local residents
would be longer journeys and longer
queues at alternative large sites at
Andover, Winchester or Eastleigh,
plus greater vehicular pollution. Please
don’t leave your responses till
t o m o r r o w : a s y o u k n o w ,
procrastination is the thief of time.

On a glorious summer evening, ladies
from our village and the surrounding
area gathered in a marquee on the
Recreation Ground to enjoy glasses of
Pimms and delicious nibbles before
attending an entertaining Fashion
Show in the Village Hall.
The clothes from well known High
Street Stores were provided by
Travelling Trends and local ladies
acted as models. From the professional
way the ladies performed on the
catwalk one would never have known
this was their first venture of this kind.
Rebecca Rickard, Hilary Carpenter
and Heather Osman
After the Show there was a frenzy of
trying on and buying at very
reasonable prices and a fun time was
had by all.
Thanks for this enjoyable and
profitable evening are owed to all
those who put up the marquee and set
up the Hall, provided and served the
refreshments, acted as models, sold
raffle tickets and attended the event
with a special thank you to Nola
Mackintosh whose idea it was to have
a fashion show.
Tracey Harris on the catwalk
Support for the event was also
received from local businesses, in
particular The Crown which provided
a very generous first prize voucher.
Health and beauty were not overlooked
with a swim for two donated by the
Rapids and a voucher from Strands in
Romsey for a shampoo and set or blow
dry. All the prizes were well received
and much appreciated.
The proceeds from the Show will go
towards the refurbishment of the Main
Hall which is planned to start shortly.

The 4th Variety Show organised by the
Somborne Players for the Village Hall
Development Committee took place on
Saturday 12th July. About 80 audience
heard a plethora of different acts
superbly, as usual, compered by John
Vanderpump.
The Show started with 10 girl Cubs
smartly singing three tricky worded
songs accompanied by a CD player.
Catherine Anderson had them singing
clearly and precisely, and it was so
refreshing to see all 10 Cubs smiling as
they were singing! To sing
Supercalafragalisticexpialadocious
without the words so well was an
excellent start. The First Half was
mainly locals of all ages singing.
From the amazing 10 year old Daisy
Natt, who sang the words of a current
pop song ‘Wake me up!’, her brother,
8 year old Isaac, who played his guitar
and sang his own composed song ‘You
don’t know what I say’ to three
unaccompanied songs from Frank
Fahy, mostly from Galway, but he
finished with Ilkla Moor Bahtat, where
the audience joined in the choruses.
The two flautists, Melanie Haydon and
Jane Waters played four pieces. The
duets were lovely to hear – mostly
from Operas, but also we heard the
enchanting ‘In an English Country
Garden’.
Young Jessica Clayden
played Abba’s ‘I have a
Dream’ on her clarinet with
great expression. Sue
Spurling has been organising
a hand bell group for the last
18 months, and the team of 6
with 12 bells, gave us a
medley of five songs
f i n i s h i n g w i t h M y
Grandfathers Clock. The
audience had never seen such
hand bell music before, and gave great
applause at the end.
The first of the final two acts of the
first half saw Catherine Cartwright
accompanied by Mark Bradley on
guitar do ‘The Streets of London’, with
the audience also singing the chorus.
Catherine’s clear voice is a joy to hear.
This number was so popular that it was
reprised in the second half.
The last act before the interval saw Jo
Finch and David Haydon read two
poems each, all connected with the
First World War.
After the interval, we saw three of our
Somborne Players do a lovely piece
which had us all laughing all the way
through. Three old ladies sitting down,
having just been to the Supermarket,
Plenty of Variety in King’s Somborne!

talk about the goings on at a nearby
Chicken Farm, and that there were no
eggs in the shop! The piece, played
beautifully by Audrey Thomas, Sue
Spurling and Lesley Evans was called
‘Freshly Laid’ which in itself gives
away the fact that there were plenty
double entendres all through the piece!
This results in them all going off to the
Chicken Farm to see the Romanian
Cock! We were all in stitches and well
done to all three thespians, all of them
played their parts absolutely dead-pan.
D a v i d H a y d o n t h e n s a n g
unaccompanied for two songs in the
next act, which were fun. By which
time Audrey Thomas had collected her
thoughts and recited the Richard Stilgoe
ditty ‘I once loved a Surgeon’ – another
funny piece!
Rory McClenaghan sang Oh Danny
Boy, and then picked up his bagpipes
and gave us three rousing tunes
on the first World War theme,
followed by Lauren Cartwright
playing ‘Take Five’ – the Dave
Brubeck number on her
Clarinet, which she played
perfectly.
The finish was a sing along for
everyone. We all had the words
of various World War I songs,
like ‘Pack up your troubles in
an old kit bag’ and ‘It’s a long
way to Tipperary etc’.
The two main people who organised
this Event were Jo Finch and David
Haydon. Well done to both of them for
putting on such an interesting and
diverse Show and sending everyone
home well entertained.

Visitors from Uganda The link between Romsey Deanery
and the Diocese of South Rwenzori,
Uganda, was established more than 25
years ago. Each year the Romsey
Deanery Overseas Mission Committee
(RDOMC; www.rdomc.org.uk) sends
between £12,000 and £15,000 to S.
Rwenzori to support schooling for
orphans, training in skills such as
carpentry and haberdashery, growing
of trees to help stabilize the deforested
hill slopes and other projects.
The RDOMC also sponsors visits to
the UK of people nominated by the
Bishop of S. Rwenzori and, in June,
welcomed Canon Josephat Bwalhuma,
senior diocesan administrator with
special responsibility for hospitals
maintained by the church, and Revd
Alice Nabirye, a secondary school
teacher and co-ordinator for the
activities of more than 500 diocesan
schools. Despite a full itinerary,
Josephat and Alice were able to spend
6 nights (16-22 June) with us Kings
Somborne.
On the Monday evening they saw the
bell ringers in action, but could not be
persuaded to ‘have a go’! On Tuesday
and Wednesday visits to New Farm
and Rookley Farm were fitted in,
thanks to the hospitality of the
Chalcrafts and Monks respectively.
Alice as a teacher of agriculture was
very excited to see a combine
harvester for the first time in her life.
The coffee morning at our house on
Thursday raised £400 towards
improving midwifery services and
reducing maternal mortality in S.
Rwenzori. After lunch at King’s
Somborne school Alice accompanied
Julie Way to tea with the Bishop of
Winchester for Heads and Foundation
Governors of C of E schools while
Josephat had a meeting (kindly
arranged by Richard Broadberry) with
Mr Lawrence Olujide, Consultant in
Obstetrics and Gynaecology at
Winchester Hospital.
On Friday Alice visited Test Valley
School in the morning and Sparsholt
College in the afternoon. In the
meantime Josephat returned to
Winchester Hospital to talk with Revd
Maria Hooper, Head of Chaplaincy
Services, and was amazed to learn that
specific permission had to be sought
before saying prayers with a patient.
On the way home we looked around
Ashley Church.
Saturday was a rest day; we caught an
early ferry from Lymington to the Isle
of Wight, passing right though the fleet
of yachts taking part in the Round the
11
Island Race. After sightseeing at the
Needles we took to the water ourselves
(see photo) to give both Josephat and
Alice their first opportunity of standing
in and tasting sea water. It was
surprisingly warm!
On their final day in King’s Somborne,
Josephat and Alice took part in the
morning services at Longstock and
Stockbridge, and in the evening ‘Alive’
service at King;s Somborne when
Alice’s ‘Ugandan style’ prayers were
much appreciated by the younger
members of the congregation. In
between church services Lady Caroline
Harvey-Bathurst showed them the deer
park and church at Little Somborne.
On their return to Uganda Josephat and
Alice sent special thanks and love to all
those they met within the Test Valley
Benefice. We hope to see both of them
here again one day.

Rosie Baker Retires Rosie Baker has been a part of
religious life in King’s Somborne since
1995, and is retiring, or ‘sitting down’
at the end of this month.
Rosie’s father was a Royal Engineer,
and her early years were spent in
Gibraltar. Her childhood from age 6
was spent with her grandmother in
Yorkshire, where she had to learn to
stand up for herself as she changed
sc ho o l s f r eq u e n t l y a nd wa s
hospitalised for 3 months with a
kidney condition: though separated
from her parents, she received support
and sound advice from them. By the
age of 9, Rosie had decided she
wanted to be a missionary doctor,
having read a book about Charles
Hudson Taylor, a Baptist missionary in
China.
Rosie was experiencing doubts about
her faith as a teenager, but when her
father left the army and worked at
Harwell, she was reaffirmed in her
faith by scientist, Dr Paul Williams,
director of the Rutherford Laboratory,
who showed her that Bible stories
were mythological expositions of
deeper truths. The intellectual rigour of
Dr Williams, combined with the
charms of a young and handsome
minister training to be a missionary in
India, led Rosie to be received into
membership of the Methodist Church
at the age of 18.
Rosie then a t tended Dundee
University, and is now a consultant
psychiatrist specialising in learning
disabilities. Her professional life took
her to Bristol and then Winchester in
1985, where she had attended the
County High School for part of her
secondary education.
It was at Park Prewitt that Rosie met
Cynthia, an old family friend, who has
now been her partner for 35 years.
They are ideally suited, both fascinated
by psychotherapy, dogs, Cornwall and
spirituality.
Rosie feels that her life has been one
of searching for lost souls, both in a
professional context, people who are
lost because of brain dysfunction, and
in a religious context, people who are
searching for meaning in their lives.
She and Cynthia even train their dogs
to be search and rescue dogs to find
physically lost people!
It has been a rich source of blessing to
be involved with the family of the
church, a pivotal grounding of support
through the pattern of the church year,
and to have the regular support of
stalwart members of the church here in
King’s Somborne.

changes to parking in Romsey town to
which all were encouraged to respond.
Southern Water had replaced the two
pumps in the Old Vicarage Lane
pumping station and removed the
supplementary pumping equipment
that had been laid along the Lane for
the past few months; the road was now
open again. Water levels were being
monitored continuously and extra reed
cutting in the Borne channel would be
requested from the Environment
Agency to assist in the flow. Further
work would be undertaken as the
ground water levels dropped and a
repair programme introduced in due
course. One resultant action identified
was to clearly identify the riparian
owners and their responsibilities.
Riparian owners are those persons who
own land or property next to a river,
stream or ditch and the common law
assumption is that you also own the
land up to the centre
of the watercourse
unless it is clearly
owned by another.
If a watercourse
runs alongside your
garden wall or
hedge you should check your property
deeds to see if the wall or hedge marks
your boundary or the watercourse
does. If the latter, you are responsible
for maintenance of that stretch of
water up to the middle point.
Similarly, if a watercourse runs
underneath your property it is assumed
you own that stretch of water.
Councillors will attempt to identify
riparian owners and issue advice.
Test Valley Borough Council had held
a wash up meeting between parishes
that had experienced flooding and the
various external agencies involved to
learn from the experience. A report
would be issued in due course,
following which the community
resilience plan would be revised and
widely distributed, as before. In the
meantime, householders and others
were strongly advised to review their
own arrangements and prepare for the
next time.
The large tree in the corner of the
Churchyard adjacent to the School
play area has been deemed unsafe and
when approval was received from the
Diocese it would be felled. The policy
was to replace a felled tree with at
least two others and this would occur
in the Autumn.
The new stile at the Horsebridge end
14
of the footpath running along behind
the houses on Horsebridge Road had
been the subject of complaints from
dog walkers whose animals could not
negotiate the new stile layout. The
Council was pleased to note that the
landowner had altered the stile to
allow dogs to pass through.
It still remained the intention of
Scottish and Southern Energy to bury
the electricity supply cable across the 3
Fields site from The Gorrings to
Romsey Road and an on-site meeting
was held recently to confirm the route
and to hasten one tenant’s consent to
access their land which was necessary
before work could begin.
As always, a full set of minutes can be
found on The Sombornes website and
in both Cross Stores and Martin’s
Corner Shop.
The next meeting of the Parish Council
will be on Monday 4 August 2014 at
7.00pm in the Village Hall. All Parish
Council meetings are open to the
public and we look forward to seeing
there.

The £100,000 Challenge! Since the first Clay Pigeon Shoot was
held in 2009 we have raised almost
£80,000 shared between the two
chari t ies – KS Vil lage Hall
Development Fund and Cancer
Research UK. This has enabled all the
wonderful improvements to the Hall
that have been completed so far and is
a major contributor to the latest ‘Phase
Six’ that has just begun. We have now
set ourselves a target to raise this total
to over £100,000 after the 2015 shoot.
We cannot achieve this by increasing
the number of teams who take part as
we now attract the maximum allowed,
the auction lots and raffle prizes are all
donated and we are all volunteers.
We would now like to cover the
essential costs of running the event.
We hope to achieve this by offering
local companies in the Test Valley the
opportunity of sponsoring one of the
twelve shooting stands or one of the
twenty tables in the marquee for £350.
There are also other sponsorship
opportunities that we can discuss.
Apart from the company name
appearing on whichever is sponsored it
would also feature on our web site,
with a direct link into their own site
and an advertisement in our Charity
Programme.
This can be achieved more easily by a
personal approach to the company. I
would therefore ask that if you work
for one of these companies or know
someone that could provide us with an
introduction or indeed, run one of the
companies to contact me with their
details. My contact details are John
Vanderpump 01794 388647 mobile no.
07976559320 or email john@tv-

More information about the shoot is
available on the web site –

Any help you can provide will be
much appreciated.

Stockbridge Amdrams move their
summer outdoor play to King’s Somborne
After countless years of staging the
plays at ‘The Burrow’ at Longstock
Park, the venue this year was in the
garden of ‘Borne House’ by courtesy
of Stephen and Margaret Burgess.
Whilst during rehearsals, they
experienced bellringing and a very
noise Combine Harvester and Baler in
Compton’s 100 acre field, the actual 3
nights were nearly noise free and more
importantly avoided the lightening and
rain overnight.
It is incredible to think that Moliere
wrote ‘the Imaginary Patient’ in 1673
and it is still appropriate today, and we
all laughed a lot! This was his very
last Play/Comedy and key to it, is the
main role of Argan, played by Chris
Hall. (Moliere also played it for the
first four performances before he
d i ed ) . Ar g a n i s a s e v e r e
Hypochondriac, and seems to live for
the next enema or purge! He is on
stage virtually all the time and so it
needs a strong performance. Chris
Hall did a very fine job.
The play has before, and after each act,
‘Interludes’ where the rest of the cast,
come in singing and dancing, and so
lighten things along. The music for
this is crucial and Debbie Smart is to
be congratulated for finding suitable
music. It blended in perfectly and the
Interludes were therefore well
appreciated.
Sue Jackson directed this play and it
was noticeable that there were many
who started with the Somborne Players
in the cast. The programme shows a
team of 30 for the play.
The story is all about Argan’s
keenness to have doctors look after
him. He is well off but even so does
not pay all the doctors bills. He has a
second wife Beline (played by Jean
Cooper-Moran and two daughters
Angelique (Harriet Gandy) and
Louison (Jessica Clayden). The play
revolves around Angelique who has
fallen in love with Cleante (Alan
16
Glynne-Jones), but Argan selfishly
wants his daughter to marry a doctor
so he could then get his doctor’s
services for free. Argan thinks the son
of Dr Diaforous (James Montgomery),
namely Thomas (Mark Bradley) would
be suitable but when he arrives with
his father, it is clear he is totally
unsuitable. Mark Bradley does a very
good job in more than convincing us of
his ineptitude. Even when Argan
knows that his daughter loves Cleante,
he insists that she takes Thomas. So
there is an impasse.
Throughout the play the maid Toinette
plays a key part knitting together each
person’s thoughts and it is well played
by Sarah Litton. Argan’s brother
B e r a l d e
(played by
L a r r y
Murphy who
has been the
Dame in
various KS
Pantomimes)
tries hard to
put things
r i g h t .
Even tua l l y
he suggests Argan feigns death. Firstly
his wife arrives and shows she is
delighted he is dead! She says what a
horrible man he was. Then his
daughter Angelique comes and
is absolutely distraught, and
says she will become a nun. At
this Argan becomes alive again
and realises his errors and it all
ends happily, with an excellent
final interlude, where Argan is
inducted as a Doctor, and then
he suddenly has a heart attack
and dies! We all went home
well amused!

It was honour your partners and dosey
do for this year's Up Somborne Event
– the Midsummer Barn dance held at
Lovells Farm on Saturday 21st June.
Members of the Village Committee
and helpers were up early on a glorious
m o r n i n g t o c o m p l e t e t h e
transformation of the barn into a party
venue with foliage, swags of material,
flags and flowers and straw bales to
mark out the dance area. Tables and
chairs were borrowed from the King’s
Somborne Village Hall. Others set out
the essential safety requirements of
traffic cones, and go slow signs from
the police plus an assembly point in
case of fire.
Families arrived bearing enormous
dishes of food to share; it was all very
reminiscent of the Barn raising
gathering in Seven Brides for Seven
Brothers. Everyone provided their own
wine, beer, soft drinks, and even
champagne judging by the number of
exploding corks. Residents and friends
of all ages from four months to 80+
were soon mingling happily.
The Corn Rigs, making another visit
by popular request, struck up their
lively music and Peter Atkinson,
appearing at his last event before
retirement, called the simple - and not
so simple - moves . The fun of
most of the dances is that
couples dance first with their
own partner then progress to
meet the next person in the circle
or line with whom the pattern is
repeated. Once the basic
movements such as dosey do,
circle left and right, and right
and left hand stars are mastered
the main requirement is to listen
to the caller. The clapping
routine of partners' hands resulted in a
few misses but that was all part of the
jollity. The enthusiasm and energy of a
delightful bevy of young lasses
encouraged plenty of others to join in.
There was a picture quiz, "How well
do you know your Village?" with
dozens of photographs of the area.
Extreme close-ups and cleverly
cropped images challenged even the
longest inhabitants. defeating almost
everyone. The Lane family identified
most of them correctly - perhaps they
had an advantage as they have been in
the Sombornes for generations.
As the warm summer evening light
faded so appetites, sharpened by the
exercise, returned and second helpings
of the delicious buffet soon cleared the
tables. A grand event thanks to Alan
and Jane Vaux of Lovells Farm and all
the hard work of the Committee.

The way we register to vote has
changed in 2014. Under the old
system the ‘head of the household’
could register everyone who lived at
their address. The new system means
that everyone has become responsible
for registering themselves.
You need to register in order to be able
to vote in elections and referendums.
If you aren’t registered to vote, you
won’t have the chance to have a say on
who represents you.
From the middle of July 2014, Test
Valley Borough Council will be
writing to all electors, advising them of
the new system. You may need to take
action to join the new register, even if
you were registered under the old
system. Look out for the letter which
will tell you if you need to take action.
Please respond to the letter if it asks
you to do so.
Your vote matters. Make sure you
have your say.
To find out more go to www.gov.uk/

The Somborne
and District Society
By the time you read this, the
Society`s AGM will have taken place
and I will have stepped down as
Chairman. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all committee
members and others who have given
support during the past two years and
during my previous period of office.
With the potential of no new Chairman
being nominated at this stage I have
agreed to “officiate” at the two August
events scheduled.
The Society`s major initiative to
commemorate the centenary of the
outbreak of the Great War in 1914
involves an exhibition in the Parish
Church throughout August, with an
accompanying booklet. Norman
Denison and Mary Pollock have
worked tirelessly to ensure that both
ventures are delivered with a high
standard of research and are
appropriately presented. I am sure the
entire village will be impressed by
their efforts and those of their helpers
to mark the sacrifice of those from the
Sombornes who fought in that terrible
conflict.
On a lighter note, the Society`s annual
picnic will take place in the garden of
Willow Cottage, Chilbolton on
Thursday 14 August. All are welcome
and at £6 per head the event represents
exceptional value as well as an
extremely enjoyable occasion.
In September the Society`s monthly
programme of talks will recommence
in our newly refurbished village hall.
There is much to look forward to in the
months ahead and every reason for
everyone to renew their membership
and play their part in continuing to
make The Somborne Society a
flourishing part of community life.

Dear Friends of King’s Somborne
I want to say thank you to all my friends and neighbours for the kindness and
thoughtfulness given to me and my family during John’s illness.
For all the lovely cards and flowers I received after John’s death and the support
that was much appreciated by us all.
What a great community to be part of.
I thank you all.
Janet Howes and family.
Thank you

Just a reminder that there is a home
handyperson service for those little
jobs that you find difficult to manage,
and they can install telecare alarms and
sensors, or keysafes so carers can
access your home. All the workers are
checked and the service is very
reasonably priced, with no call-out fee.
If you think you may be needing grab
rails around the house sometime in the
future, it is a good idea to have them
installed sooner rather than later, as
they may help to prevent a fall.
Finally, we can put you in touch with
Opal, a befriending service from Age
Concern, with
people who can
visit and put you
in touch with
activities and
e v e n t s t o
enhance your
quality of life.
Do come and join us for lunches or
outings—they are friendly and fun.
Note that this month the lunch is in
The Crown as the village hall is being
refurbished.

Village Hall News
After considerable effort we are now
ready to upgrade the main hall and the
builders will start work on Monday
28th July and will be working for six
weeks until Friday 5th September.
During this time the main hall will be
unavailable, we may be able to take
limited bookings for the Jubilee and
Committee rooms but this will depend
on the building activities and
obviously there will be times when the
electricity is cut off.
The Sports Pavilion will also be
available to a limited extent but the
changing rooms are being used for
storage of materials etc. which have
been removed from the stage and the
loft and there will not be proper
changing facilities although the toilets
should be accessible.
The building work entails new plaster
boarding of the ceiling as well as a
down stand (like a pelmet) around the
back and sides of the hall. This will
make the hall more attractive and the
lighting will be brought up to date so
as to provide bright lighting for most
events and a more romantic soft
lighting for dances etc. The lighting
will be dimmable but hopefully not so
complicated that no one can work out
how to use it!
The stage lighting will also be
upgraded to make it suitable for plays,
lectures and musical events. The
lighting improvements will be
accompanied by changes to the sound
system.
We will be also installing air
source heat pumps which will work
in conjunction with our present oil
heating system. However, once
they prove their worth we will get
rid of the oil tank and burner so
that we can provide more storage
at the back of the hall.
The general decor will also be
upgraded but we are not sure at this
stage whether our funds will
stretch to new curtains around the
hall as well as on the stage so we
may have to put up with the
present rather tatty curtains for a
short while!
I would like to thank members of
both the Development and
Management committees for all
their hard work getting us to this
point and also the Players who
turned out in force last week to
remove an incredible amount of
old scenery and props from the
loft. Some of the things must have
been up there for decades and the
ceiling probably moved up by
about six inches when the weight
of everything was removed.
Fingers crossed and we hope to re-
open fully in September!

Somborne Sisterhood WI Despite being depleted in numbers due
to some members taking part in the
vi l lage ‘Progress ive Supper ’ ,
Samantha Boot welcomed those
attending then introduced the speaker
for the evening, Jen Best from Beaker
Button, Weyhill who would be
teaching us to crochet Granny Squares
in the hope we will be able to put them
together to make a blanket.
As most of the group either hadn’t
crocheted before or hadn’t tried since
childhood, Jen’s work was cut out for
her. She started by explaining how she
got in to all things yarn-based and her
love for both knitting and crochet
before getting us to select some wool
and a crochet hook and showing us
how to cast on and make a simple
chain stitch.
Once mastered it was straight on to the
Granny Squares. Following a pattern,
we all learnt chain stitch, slip stitch
and treble stitch (with varying degrees
of success) and
were able to
p r o d u c e a
motley selection
of squares by the end of the evening.
Jen did a super job of encouraging and
helping us in equal measures and left
us confident we could have another go
at home without getting into too many
knots.
Samantha then thanked Jen for coming
before inviting all attending to help
themselves to drinks and goodies from
the refreshments table, before the
raffle was drawn and the meeting
closed.
Next meeting – Friday 1st August.
Scott from Winchester Racquets and
Fitness will be putting us through our
paces at Boot Camp. Meet in Village
Hall car park. Guests welcome.
Appropriate clothing should be worn.

President, Somborne Sisterhood W.I.
A mother’s plea I am sure that it is only a few dog
walkers that spoil a lovely walk
through King’s Somborne village, but
as a family we are fed up avoiding dog
mess. I have regularly had to scrape
the dog mess out of the tyres of our
pushchair and today was the final
straw which is why I feel the need to
write this. Our little boy accidently
stepped in a pile of dog mess which
was on the pavement opposite Barker
& Geary resulting in it going up his leg
and encasing his trainers.
This is such a thoughtless act that
halted what should have been a nice
walk. What resulted was returning
home, picking the mess our of his
trainers, cleaning his legs and not
being able to wear said trainers as they
now have to dry out. I would welcome
the response of any dog walker who
does not feel it their duty to pick up
after their dog and then invite them to
clear up the mess that results in either
shoes, tires of a bike or a pushchair!

Wherwell CC visited Somborne on the
18th June. After a rapid innings which
included five fours and a six, one of
the Wherwell openers retired. After six
overs the score was 56 for one wicket,
which, if sustained, would give over
180 runs, and the home side was under
extreme pressure. However, KS
bowlers persevered and shot out the
next six batsmen for a total of 31 runs
with the help of a magnificent catch by
Chris Waggott off the bowling of Phil
Pidgeon. Unfortunately, number
eleven stopped the rot and retired on
26. After Richard Harwood dismissed
numbers ten and eleven to complete
his fine bag of 3 for 25, our 20/20 rules
allowed the two previously retired
Wherwell batsmen to continue their
innings, which totalled 88 and 43 after
twenty overs, giving a final score of
184. In response, KS batsmen were
undone by some excellent Wherwell
bowling and managed a total of only
88.
The following match saw KS visit our
neighbours, Crawley. Home captain,
Martin White, opened for Crawley and
batted stoutly until he retired on 27.
Phil Pigeon took 4 for 20, Jake
Batchelor took 2 for 18 and John Fahy
took 2 for 20, to dismiss the other ten
Crawley batsmen for a combined total
of 49. Martin White returned to the
crease to carry his bat with 37 and an
innings total of 112, to which KS
contributed 27 too many extras!
Innings of 29 not out by Jake
Batchelor and 28 not out by Adam
Clemet, together with 14 by Phil
Pidgeon, were not
enough, and KS were
pipped at the post for
103 .
KSCC visited other
neighbours Michelmersh and
Timsbury on the 2nd July. We were
very pleased to welcome two new
members, Alex Collins and Ollie
Dunger, to the club and to the team.
The latter gave a fine show of quick
bowling and peppered M&T’s star
batsmen to keep him quiet (and
probably rather sore). Phil Pidgeon
bowled economically for figures of 2
for 15 and Ollie Waggott was most
impressive taking 3 for 19. Ollie’s
brother Chris took a superb caught and
bowled wicket to the detriment of one
of his fingers which bled heavily. After
ten overs M&T were 31 for 3. The
aforementioned star batsman retired on
30 and number seven retired on 27,
allowing M&T to reach a total of 123
in the scorebook. It was subsequently
discovered by the scorers that KS had
bowled one over too many, making the
corrected score 110.
KS batsmen numbered only nine,
because Rory McClenaghan was called
away on professional duty early in the
first innings and another player was
unable to turn up. Alex Collins took
over the wicket keeping duty and
acquitted himself well. Ollie Waggott
showed he could bat as well as bowl,
scoring 20. Ollie Dunger made 22,
including three sixes, and Phil Pidgeon
made 21. Chris Waggott bravely batted
for 19.
King’s Somborne Cricket Club

With KS staring down the barrel seven
wickets down, Matt Martin and Alex
Collins stoutly held M&T at bay, until
Alex hit the winning three runs. After
18.2 overs the nine men of KS won the
day.
Forthcoming 20/20 matches, which
start at about 6.00pm on Wednesdays,
are as follows. 9th July, Winchester
Doctors (H); 16th July, Newport Inn
(A); 23rd July, Roke (H); 30th July,
Leckford Estate (H); 6th August,
Broughton (H); 13th August; Roke (H);
20th August, Wherwell (H). A 40-
overs challenge match between KSCC
and The Crown Inn (H) for the trophy
won last year by the latter (see the
trophy and the photos on the wall of
The Crown) will start at 2.00pm on
Sunday 27th July. You are welcome to
the Recreation ground to watch the
home matches marked (H).

The Pet Service held on the Recreation
Ground recently was well attended by
both two and four legged members of
the village. At times the weather
looked rather unsettled but, fortunately
the rain held off and so it was possible
to enjoy a lovely outdoors service.
The service was led by Howard Rowe
and included music from the Music
Group. The service opened with the
hymn 'I, the Lord of sea and sky', after
which prayers of praise and
thanksgiving were led by Fareya, Dilys
and Daniel. The bible readings read
by Lisa and Furyian were on the
themes of The Lost Sheep and Jesus
the Good Shepherd.
Howard Rowe gave the talk on the
t h e m e o f T h e L o r d i s m y
shepherd. The prayers for God's
World and all living things
in it were led by Helen,
Daisy and Lizzie. Other
songs sung were 'Thank you
Lord for this fine day', 'The
lord's my shepherd', 'If I were
a butterfly', and ' O Lord my
god'. Our four legged friends
were impeccably behaved
t h r o u g h o u t , a l t h o u g h
probably quite relieved when
the service ended and they
could move around a
little. After the service tea
and cakes were served on the field,
providing an opportunity for
socialising.

King’s Somborne WI
The meeting held on Wednesday 9th
July, which was well attended, was
chaired by our President, Thelma
Blamey.
Our Monday walks had continued, as
had the Book Group, to whom Mary
Pollock had given a very interesting
talk about being a Quaker. As a
result, "Heartbreak Hotel" by Deborah
Moggach would be discussed on
Monday, 28 July.
King's Somborne had come a close
second to Sherfield English in the
Group Quiz. A cheque for £50 had
been sent to the Association of
Countrywomen of the World and the
W.I. stall at the Summer Fayre had
made £135. An informal Tea Party
for members and their friends would
be held on Wednesday, 13 August, at 3
p.m.
Our speaker, Gina Ireland, M.B.E., a
retired Prison Officer, had taken as her
subject "Both Sides of the Wall". She
gave us a brief history of English
prisons, progressing from the barbarity
of the Middle Ages, via Dickensian
establishments to more humane
conditions following the work of the
Howard League for Penal Reform in
the mid-19th century and the 1948
Criminal Justice Act, with its emphasis
on training and rehabilitation.
Mrs. Ireland had joined the Prison
Service in the 1980s as a mature
entrant. She was one of a first cohort
of 250 female Prison Officers
appointed in an experiment to see
whether the presence of female
officers
working in
male prisons
would lessen tensions. She had been
the first female officer to work "on the
landings" at Winchester Prison, rather
than in a purely administrative
capacity.
Despite initial distrust on the part of
male prison staff, her appointment had
been a success and she had worked
with both young offenders and adult
prisoners as well as periods as a relief
officer at women's prisons such as
Holloway.
After her retirement from the Prison
Service, Mrs. Ireland was involved in
rehabilitative and counselling work
with former offenders and in 2003 she
was awarded the M.B.E. for all her
work at Winchester.
Sarah Pennington thanked Mrs. Ireland
for an informative and enjoyable talk.
There will be no meeting in August.
Our next meeting will be on
Wednesday, 10 September at 7.30
p.m., when we hope to be back in the
Epworth Hall. The speaker will be
Liz Baron and her subject is "In
Grandpa's Footsteps". All are
welcome.

‘Just call me the Pied
Piper’
Parents and friends of children in KS2
in our school were treated to a fantastic
end of year performance with their
production of 'Just call me the Pied
Piper'.
The well known story of the children
of Hamlyn being led away from the
village by the magical music of the
piper included narration, singing,
dancing, acting and mime. The
narration was delivered beautifully by
Harry Thorman and Harrison Walsh
and Oliver Hopkins was excellent in
the role of the Pied Piper.
All the children sang and danced with
obvious enjoyment and it was
impressive to see the way they
remained convincingly in role
throughout. Lines
were spoken well
and the lovely
rousing songs
made it very
difficult for the audience not to sway
to the music. The colourful and
effective costumes added greatly to the
production, and an amusing and very
up to date touch was added when an
electronic mouse was found among the
rodents in the baker's sacks!
A production only flows as
successfully and smoothly as this when
everyone involved has worked very
hard and put in 100% effort - a fact
acknowledged by Mrs Way in her
thanks to children, parents and staff. A
fantastic effort on the part of all
concerned.

From the Bishop of Winchester
Dear Friends
I'm delighted to say that General Synod has voted to introduce women bishops.
Synod's decision has sent out a clear and joyful message. At last, gifted women
leaders will be able to serve as bishops. I’m delighted, and I hope this decision
will release energy, allow for reconciliation and enable all to flourish in the
church’s life and mission.
For so long, including in our own Diocese of Winchester, the Church of England
has benefited greatly from the outstanding ministry of both women and men
working together. Now, we can look forward to working together in our mission
as bishops as well.
This has been an emotional journey for many. That applies as much for those who
have campaigned steadfastly for this day, as well as those whose traditional views
have been challenged by the process. All should continue to have an honoured
place both in our Diocese and across the Church. Importantly, this has been
properly reflected in the legislation that Synod has passed.
Yours in Christ
+Tim
Meeting the Vicar.... As many will know, when families get in contact to
arrange a baptism, wedding or funeral, I usually meet
with them either in their homes or at The Rectory in
Stockbridge.
It might be that from time to time some would like to
take the opportunity to see me for other reasons, such as for a brief chat, to
check something out or if they need some help.
With this in mind, I am planning to be in the ‘Parish Room’ (entrance through
the brown left side gate of the ‘New Vicarage’, Romsey Road) on a number
occasions in the next few months. For those unfamiliar with the ‘New
Vicarage’, it is next to Froghole, Please go around the side of the house and
do not ring the bell on the front door as the Vicarage, at present, has tenants.
Dates coming up are:
August- 13th & 27th 2.00pm - 4.00pm
September – 10th 2.00pm - 4.00pm

Well what a lovely few months we've
had getting to know your beautiful
v i l l a g e a n d f r i e n d l y yo u n g
people. Rachel and I from YMCA
Winchester have been having great fun
making loom bands, playing wide
games on the recreational grounds and
cooking up a BBQ fit for kings with
your young people. Our BBQ was a
great success where we saw more than
25 young people join us for burgers,
sausages and cakes on the recreational
grounds. It was a relaxed afternoon/
evening where we had a chance
to consult with the young people about
what they wanted from a youth work
provision and also to hear their views
and opinions on the village. Our
second youth evening we made loom
bands (it turns out I don't really have
the talent for it), played games and ate
a fair amount of tuck shop sweets.
Looking to the future we are planning
on being in the village on the 2nd and
4th Friday of the month from 6.30
pm- 8.30pm. Whilst the weather is
nice we will take advantage of the
green, then when the chillier months
kick in the scouts have kindly agreed
to allow us the use of the Scout Hut.
We are very excited about getting to
know the young people of King’s
Somborne better and developing the
youth provision. We would like to
take this opportunity to offer our
thanks and gratitude to all the adults
within the village and wider area who
are supporting us and have welcomed
us so kindly to the village. If you want
to know more or want to find out how
you can support us or get involved

After continuing with the story of
Creation, we rounded off our Summer
term with a fabulous Teddy Bears
Picnic, kindly hosted by Lucy
Wolverson in her garden.
We started the picnic with a story and
followed with a Bear Hunt around the
garden which proved a challenge for
some of the grown ups! Then it was a
chance to tuck in to a delicious
selection of party food which was soon
gobbled up before the children were let
loose with cupcakes, icing and
sprinkles for their puddings.
Presentations of bibles or prayer books
were made to
Libby, Martha,
Samuel and Toby who start school in
September – we wish you lots of luck
for this exciting time. Next, our regular
helpers, Michelle, Linda and
Marilyn were all thanked with
bouquets of seasonal flowers.
Finally, it was a chance to say
thank you and goodbye to
Sam Boot, Kelda Lay and
Jane Waters for all their help
with running Tiny Tots over
the last couple of years.
We have now stopped for the
Summer holidays but start
back on Tuesday 9th
September. New faces are
always welcome so, if you would like
to join us, please come down to the
church, every Tuesday during term-
time at 2pm for a drink and biscuit
with the session getting under way by
2.15pm, finishing at 3.15pm.
Samantha Boot, Hayley Griffith, Jane
Waters and Lucy Wolverson
Prayer Meeting We hold our prayer meetings on the first Monday of each month at
2.15pm. We meet for about an hour at Shappon, Romsey Road, when we pray
for our parish, families, friends and anyone else in need.
If you have any prayer requests there are slips on the table at the back of the
church which you may put into the box provided or alternatively phone me,
Dulcie Witts on 01794 388267.
Our meeting is very informal and we should be pleased to welcome new
members.

The Vicar has the Last Word
Dear Friends
The school terms have ended, it’s the summer holidays. For any with children,
grandchildren or even great grandchildren life has to be planned differently for a
few weeks.
For sport fans – the bad memories of the World Cup are over, the Tour de
France has been and gone and the Commonwealth Games are under way.
For festival fans – music and arts events seem to be multiplying each year.
Meanwhile, beyond the eastern end of the Mediterranean in Israel and Gaza,
Iraq and Syria conflicts continue. It is almost impossible to imagine what it must
be like to live in the middle of one of these conflict areas, trying to survive and
at the same time provide for the needs of your family. Today, I received an
appeal request from “Open Doors” a charity trying to support some of the 3000
Christian families who have had to escape from cities in Northern Iraq.
At the beginning of August we will commemorate another conflict, the outbreak
of World War I. This was one of the worst wars of all time. The parish church
is privileged to be hosting the Somborne and District Society exhibition about
the war and the impact it had on the village. A benefice service in King’s
Somborne on Sunday 31 August will include a time to look back and remember
while at the same time praying for peace between nations.
I hope many will be able to come along to this service.
Meanwhile let us spend some time this month praying for peace wherever it is
needed.
