FROM THE Editor

It seems that you all enjoyed the new

look What’s On in July and we are keeping

to the same formula for the August edition

which, considering that this month is

known as the “silly season” as far as news is

concerned, still contains a lot of

information which we hope you will find

useful as well as entertaining.

We have made a few adjustments this

month and will continue to do so as we

receive your suggestions in the coming

months so please continue tp let us know

what you would like to see.

Our advertising rates appear on page 53

in the magazine so please get in touch with

us – we can even assist with some design

work if necessary.

We would also like to receive your

editorial contributions so if you would like

to promote your organisation or group

please pen an article and send it in.

Centre Report

Due to some very kind and welcome

assistance from a local volunteer, Paul

Ledger, additional soundproofing measures

between the Children’s Library and the

Chestnut Room have been completed to a

good standard.

Plans continue and we are confident that

it will be opened in September this year.

The bookcases are all in place, as are the

computer stations and the reception desk.

We still need to purchase the computer

hardware and software but this is all in

hand.

As well as this, training of volunteers will

be necessary before we can open.

Fine tuning such as artwork and

children’s seating also needs to be

addressed.

New book stock will also be purchased.

Tentatively we will open the Library in a

similar format to when Hampshire County

Council operated it, ie half days on Monday

am, Tuesday pm, Wednesday am, Thursday

closed, Friday pm and Saturday am

although this proposal will need to be

finalised with the new Library team.

A further plan is that when the Library is

not in use the room can be used as a pop up

office or a good size room for meetings for

between two to eight people.

This is a facility that we do not currently

have available.

An added bonus is that the wifi speed is

much higher in this section of the Centre,

which is a very useful feature in this room.

In addition to fundraising reported last

month from the Auction of Promises and

the Bowling Club’s Race night, we have had

generous support from local resident Lee

Smith this month who has donated to

support the work needed to complete the

Library, and Lyndhurst Football Club

donated half the proceeds of their recent

ex-Saints event, while Lou Judd donated

half the proceeds from a raffle held in her

street’s Jubilee celebration.

Thank you all, the support from our

community has been really heart warming

to enable us to get the Library launched.

We have taken a lot of advice from other

community centres that operate charity

shops, from local businessman and retailer,

Tony Comfort and a Lyndhurst resident that

runs a successful online shopping

experience.

We now feel ready to open the long

awaited charity shop and have a storage

area ready to receive donations from

residents of our village and further afield.

We would like to invite you to bring in

donations of nearly new items (excluding

electrical goods, bedding items and

furniture) from 15th August to support the

Community Centre.

This is a new venture for us and has been

brought about due to the need to raise

more funding for the Centre post Covid-19.

It is essential to diversify in order to keep

our Community Centre viable and open for

all our residents so we hope we can count

on your support.

We are also looking for volunteers to

help in the shop and full training will be

given.

Further information can be found

elsewhere in What’s On. Regular updates


will also be coming in What’s On each

month as we continue to develop this

venture.

Karate lessons have now started in the

Pine Hall every Saturday morning so have a

look at the poster elsewhere in the

magazine for more information.

We have the New Forest Art Society

Annual Art Exhibition from Saturday 6th

August until Sunday 14th August from

10.00am until 5.00pm (admission free),

Mynt Image have a two-day craft fair on

Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st August and

Pilgrim Harps will be with us on Saturday

27th August for a harp exhibition with taster

harp playing sessions.

This all indicates that your Community

Centre can still offer plenty to entertain you

during the holiday season.

It is with great sadness that the Council

has learned of the death of Terence Mark

Abbott known as Mark.

Mark was first co-opted on to the Parish

Council in 1967 as a Councillor and served

for 49 years until he retired.

Mark held many positions on the Parish

Council including Vice Chairman, Chairman

and later Chairman of the Planning

Committee.

Mark had an extensive knowledge of

Lyndhurst and this proved invaluable as a

councillor.

He will be sady missed by all of those

that he worked with for the benefit of this

community.

At the Parish Council meeting held on 12

July Councillors supported the proposal

from County Councillor Heron to ask

Hampshire County Council to investigate

the posibility of making the junction of

Racecourse View with the A337 no entry.

Traffic taking a short cut from the A337

trying to bypass the congestion has been a

problem for many many years.

District Councillor Hilary Brand informed

the meeting that NFDC had approved the

Waste Strategy, and this will mean that

residential properties will be getting

wheelie bins from 2024. More information

on this scheme will be provided to residents

in the future.

CLERK’S CORNER

- August 2022 -

Lyndhurst Parish Council:

Telephone: 023 8028 4928

Email: clerk@lyndhurst-pc.gov.uk

Website: www.lyndhurst-pc.gov.uk

The Parish Council have been awarded a

grant from NFDC for tree planting in the

Parish.

If you can think of anywhere that may

benefit from a tree.

Please let us know the location and

species (native) that you would like to see.

We will only be able to plant trees on land

that we own.

The Council are looking at possibly

holding a community event in 2024. Would

you like to be part of the organising team? If

yes, please contact me at the Parish Office

so that I can take your details.

The next Parish Council meeting is the

Planning Committee on Tuesday 26 July

and 23 August.

Both meetings start at 7.15pm in the

Community Centre and all are welcome to

attend.

The Parish Council Office is open on

Mondays to Friday mornings. You are

welcome to visit between 10.30am and

12.00 (noon).

Staff may be working in the office at

other times but if you need to visit outside

of the hours, we are open to the public we

request that you telephone in advance and

make an appointment.

Come and see us during our opening hours - Monday to Friday 9:00am to 12:00

We are situated adjacent to Lyndhurst Community Centre,

Main Car Park, Lyndhurst SO43 7NY.



COMMUNITY NEWS FOR AUGUST

August is traditionally a quieter month at

the Community Centre with many of our

regular groups taking a break.

However, for the more energetic we still

have Zumba Gold, Power hoop, Line

Dancing and our new Karate group, see

page 50 for more details.

Two art groups will be holding

exhibitions during the month and details

can be found in the What’s On section or in

advertisements.

We have one craft fair, Mynt Image

joining us over the weekend of 20th and

21st August so do drop into the Centre to

see what they have to offer. Admission is

free.

If you are looking forward to something

relaxing come along to Knit & Natter on the

afternoon of 18th August. More details are

available from the Centre Office.

You can also purchase tickets for the Film

Night on 26th August when we will be

showing the latest version of West Side

Story.

Another popular return visit to the

Community Centre will be Pilgrim Harps

who joined us on several occasions pre-

Covid.

They will be here over the August Bank

Holiday weekend and there is an

opportunity to “have a go” at playing a

harp.

Out in the community have you

considered the discount available for

residents on the New Forest Tour bus.

If you are shopping locally and

supporting the area’s brilliant small

businesses, why not leave your car at home,

enjoy some sights and take advantage of

the offer for 25% off on the New Forest Tour

bus ticket prices for district residents.

These buses can be linked with the usual

bus travel and also the Hythe Ferry if you

fancy taking to the water as well.

Song Of The Earth

Pathways of moonbeams

From ocean to land

Crossing horizons

To glisten on sand

Silvery shadows

Slip into view

An evening for lovers

A paradise for two

Stars in the heavens

Lighting the scene

A witness to all things

Wished for in dreams

Romantic evenings

All summer long

A star spangled paradise

Filled with Earth’s song

Clouds passing over

The pathways each fade

Sea turning greener

Diamonds to jade

Bright stars still peeping

Fingers of light

Probing the darkness

Chasing the night

This light show of heaven

Is happening each day

Darkness to daylight

As the world spins away

Spectacular moments

As starlight descends

Until lighter horizons

And the sun re-ascends

Pathways of moonbeams

All summer long

A star spangled paradise

Filled with Earth’s song

A gift

from Glyn

After losing his wife nine years ago,

local man Glyn left a gift in his Will to

Oakhaven Hospice after experiencing

first-hand how the hospice can help those who

need care and support.

He became part of the Widowed Friendship

Club, which is a self-help group of widows and

widowers, and was also looked after by Oakhaven

Care in the final stages of his own life. He was

so thankful and appreciative of this support

that he decided to leave a gift to the hospice

so that others in the community who may find

themselves in a similar position could benefit

from Oakhaven and all that it has to offer.

We are able to care for one in four people

thanks to people like Glyn leaving a gift in

their Will.

Leaving a lasting legacy to Oakhaven in this

way ensures we will be able to continue caring

for those in our community when they need us

most, helping us to make every moment matter.

Could you help us with a gift in your Will?

A pledge of any size really will make a

difference to our future.

Visit oakhavenhospice.co.uk/legacy

for more information.

We also offer a free and confidential online

Will writing service in partnership with

Guardian Angel.

The legacy of Glyn

lives on through his

gift to Oakhaven

Hospice


NATURE IN AUGUST

August is one of our hottest months of

the calendar year, and because of this, it is

also one of the quietest in nature’s birding

calendar.

The reasoning for this, is two-fold.

Firstly, the majority of our native birds

would have finished their nesting and

brooding activities and most adult birds will

now have scruffy and dirty plumage, which

then genetically triggers their annual moult.

But this moult makes them more

susceptible to predation, as their normal

flight is seriously affected, meaning they

lose their superb manoeuvrability and

ability to fly away fast, should they be

pursued.

Without this annual moult though, it is

unlikely that birds would survive the

harsher conditions of the coming winter,

wearing their old tatty feathered coat.

Our native birds also don’t sing during

this annual moult period either, as to do so,

would then draw unwanted attention.

Secondly, and because of the heat

generated by the stronger sun, many birds

(and animals) avoid the extreme heat of the

day and seek out shade, and cooler places

where they can rest up.

They will then tend to find food and feed

up, during either the cooler early hours of

the morning or later in the evenings,

around dusk, before nightfall occurs.

If you do want to see more birds this

month, it would be best to head for the

coastal regions of the New Forest.

As here, along the coastline, at places

like the Beaulieu River, Lymington, Lepe

and Keyhaven, you will still find varied

species of waders, ducks, geese, and swans.

Depending upon how hot the weather gets

and how the summer has progressed, will

determine what is on show and what you

can expect to see.

One such bird (not originally a native of

this country), is the egret and there are

currently two varieties that frequent our

coastline here in the south.

These are the little egret and great white

egret. Both are quite striking and

handsome birds and can be seen feeding

along the coastal river edges, fishing in the

same manner as our common grey heron.

Both species of egret tend to move in

slow motion when hunting, and

unsurprisingly their diets, consist mainly of

fish, eels, and crustaceans.

Along our coastline this month, you will

also see a variety of gulls, terns, and

waders.

Gulls are the scavengers here and they

will eat washed-up dead fish or crustaceans,

especially after a summer storm.

Terns are marvellous fish catchers and

dive into the water, from a height where

they can better spot fish.

Waders vary in size and feeding habits

and feed along the coastal reaches,

saltwater lagoons, and estuaries.

Their body size and more importantly

their bill size, will determine what they will

feed on when wading.

Small waders with small bills will feed

nearer the surface and hunt out smaller

crustaceans.

Larger waders with longer slender bills

will probe into the mud further down,

seeking out lugworms and ragworms.

Some of these even have sensitivity in


their bills, and deep in the mud can literally

feel out worms and types of shellfish.

Oystercatchers are especially adept with

this unique functionality.

Curlews are another large wader that has

sensitivity in their bills, and as opposed to a

straight long bill, the curlew’s bill is curved,

pointing downwards.

Whereas, the avocet, the symbol of the

RSPB has a long bill, that is curved

upwards.

This allows the avocet to sift-feed for

small shrimps and crustaceans at tidal

edges, as opposed to probing deep in the

mudflats.

Adult oystercatcher (large wader) searching the shoreline

When all these species of waders are

scrutinised together, the fascination is that

none of these birds are in direct

competition with one another.

As each, will feed at a different level

within the mud or water, and will search out

different food, ensuring that their chances

of survival are greatly enhanced.

You may see many wader species feeding

together, or a large solitary group.

..at the heart of the New Forest

As you read this

article the sporting

extravaganza that is

The Commonwealth

Games will have

begun. There will be

great athletic feats

and the culmination

of years of work will

be on show for all to see. We will celebrate

Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and there

will be some positive news for a short

time.

I had the privilege of watching the Sports

Day at Bartley Junior School recently. In

the afternoon were the traditional running

races, one sprint and one longer distance

for each year group six boys and six girls in

each race. The winners were impressive

but what gave me a ‘wow’ moment was

the way that the school treated the

children who came in last.

One particular occasion was in the Year 6

girls distance race. One of them had

tripped and was hobbling but was

determined to keep going encouraged by

one of the teaching assistants. This young

lady was well behind as a result of the fall

and was struggling. The girl who had won

the race saw that her friend was struggling

and so ran back to run the rest of the race

with her and then stayed back slightly so

that the girl who came last would cross the

line ahead of someone. The whole school

roared this girl home, shouting her name

and cheering the loudest cheer of the

afternoon as she crossed that line. I

managed to pass the tears off as hay fever.

Paul encourages the church at Philippi

with the following words, “…forgetting

what lies behind and straining forward to

what lies ahead I press on towards the goal

for the prize of heavenly call of God in

Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3: 13 – 14

NRSVA). What Paul is saying is it does not

matter whether you cross the line first or

last, what matters is you cross the line.

Finishing the race is so much more

important than how you run it. We can

ensure that we cross the line and receive

the reward that God has for us in Christ.

The reward of forgiveness, acceptance,

grace, love and eternal life. I like to think

that at the finish line of all of our races

there will be a crowd of people cheering us

on knowing that we have stumbled and

struggled but rejoicing that we have

finished and kept going in the face of the

adversity of life. Keep your eyes on the

prize and run the race.

Local Property

Price Update

Local property prices in the New

Forest have continued to climb

higher over the past two years.

The pandemic has seen demand soar for

rural properties and in the 12 months to

April 2022 house prices in the New Forest

grew by 14.1% vs National average of

10.7%

New Forest House prices are up 27.2% in

the past 5 years and up 66.9% in 10 years.

In the SO43 Postcode, there are 2,152

properties , with 77 currently on the market

and 47% of them are sold subject to

contract.

Across the country the supply of houses for

sale has remained low, whilst demand from

buyers has been very strong - hence the

high price rises.

This exceptional pace of house price rises is

easing, and there appears to be signs of a

slight cooling of demand with further

interest rate rises anticipated and inflation

remaining a concern.

Expectations are for house price rises to

slow from the UK average of approximately

10% to 5% by the end of the year.

We are a relationship based Estate Agent, we love talking property,

and enjoy helping people sell their home quickly!

Call Jane or Peter Johnson to discuss your property needs!

A lovely summer dish!

• 1 can of chopped tomatoes

• 1 lemon

• Black pepper to taste

• Optional chopped parsley and lemon

wedges to serve

Method

1. Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan.

2. Fry onion for 2 - 3 minutes until beginning

to soften.

3. Add chicken and fry over medium heat

5 - 6 minutes.

4. Add chorizo, garlic, red peppers, paprika,

rosemary and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.

5. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute,

Note:

If, at any time when cooking, the rice goes dry,

add a little extra stock to prevent sticking –

although my family fight for the bits that have

The View from

the Plot

‘Digging for Britain’

For the first time in a number of years there is a waiting list for

allotments. The interest in ‘growing your own’ has increased

recently, and was palpable during ‘lockdown’.

There were also concerns among

allotmenteers in March 2020 that they

would not be allowed out on their plots.

Tensions were relieved by Michael Gove,

who came on the radio to clarify allotments

could be tended (pressurized into action,

some of us we wondered, by some

allotment holding relative?).

In any case, freedom to go outdoors as

well as the growing of sustainable food

during concerns about empty shops meant

new arrivals soon filled vacant plots.

Concerns with price rises have increased

this year, with Boris Johnson recently

announcing ‘Grow for Britain’ to encourage

farmers and the public to grow more fruit

and vegetables to ease the cost of living.

Let’s hope the policy lasts longer than the

prime minister’s time in office.

There is a view that growing a few

potatoes or heads of broccoli can’t make

much difference to the weekly budget, but

perhaps it isn’t as straightforward as it

seems.

Yes, broccoli is 45p in a supermarket, but

that is the wrong comparison.

If you are growing organically, then the

equivalent broccoli costs £1.50 - £2.00. And

how many of us would buy organic

asparagus four times a week for example, if


they weren’t growing it? Picking 30 punnets

of strawberries from the fruit cage saves

£60, without the additional savings on

making your own jam. Savings and benefits

can soon mount up.

One of the most important things that

growing your own can do is give a series of

gluts through the year providing a surplus

for friends, neighbours and the community

to benefit.

After all, there are only so many

courgettes, runner beans and potatoes you

can eat yourself in August.

With food price inflation, this has

become all the more important. Money is

tighter for many of us. Chris, who manages

the ‘Pantry in the Porch’ at St Michael’s

church, which provides food for those in

need to go and help themselves, has seen

demand rise and donations drop.

“We have many people in the village

struggling to make ends meet and those

donating have less to give”.

The porch is open day and night for

anyone to privately collect what they may

need. The surplus grown at the allotment

and generously given, means seasonal fruit

and veg are available for the pantry at little

cost.

‘Digging for Britain’

during the war

The current popularity of ‘Digging for

Britain’ is not new of course. In fact, the

need for the community to grow their own

meant the original allotments as laid out in

the 1890s were much larger than now.

The area originally included the land

now occupied by Foldsgate Close, but

reduced from the late 1960s to early 1970s,

as demand dropped in the post-rationing

era and maintenance costs grew.

Adrian Wiltshire, our current allotment

manager, recalls “George Bond used to

keep pigs down on the plots by the Romsey

Road to keep the brambles, willow and

bracken under control.

When he died, that area was given back

to forestry”. Growing your own provided

resilience in time of food shortages,

something many of us have not

experienced before.

A cloudy, wet May after the Easter sun

seems to have left us with fewer bumble

bees this year.

The Ordnance Survey map of 1968, showing change of allotment use. The shaded area

shows the current allotment extent.


To give some resilience to our pollinators

and the pollination of fruits and veg,

growing companion plants with long

flowering seasons helps. Comfrey flowers

early providing nectar for bees and

continues flowering into August.

If you grow parsnips, leave some to

flower.

They attract hover flies which are active

pollinators when bees are scarce.

Kale is another crop that flowers to the

benefit of bees if left to bolt.

Tall, rigid flowers that take up little space

on the edge of beds like hollyhocks, corn

flowers, verbena and sunflowers are

popular at the allotment.

If you are growing veg in the heat of the

greenhouse, like tomatoes, cucumber and

peppers, place flowers or herbs like wild

majoram, thyme, dahlias and French

marigolds to attract in the pollinators in

August. Growing tomatoes in the

greenhouse also help avoid blight, which is

present at the allotment and seems to

move on the wind.

Honey bee on

wild majoram


Bindweed has a flower that pollinators

like, but which is a constant pest,

widespread on the plots. Along with couch

grass and sorrel, bindweed is hard to

eradicate, as it keeps coming up,

regenerating from pieces of root. Digging it

out regularly is the only way to stop it

spreading and strangling crops.

Beware, bindweed roots will survive the

composting process. Pick the shiny white

roots out when you sort and sieve compost

for use.

To be killed off they need to be drowned

for 6-7 weeks in a water butt or burn on the

bonfire.

First Autumn raspberries and wild

blackberries abound in August.

With blackbird and thrushes having

already raised their young and making

themselves scarce as they moult, these

berries are less likely to be stolen.

One way to build resilience into the

household budget and kitchen larder is to

make jam. Allotmenteer John Plunkett, still

visiting his plot nearing age 97, also still

makes jam from his raspberries.

“My mother was a Robinson, of the jam

making dynasty, and taught me her recipes.

I’ve always made jam with my

raspberries, but my favourite is wild

blackberry. Half fruit-half sugar, but it

doesn’t preserve for so long.” As a Bevan

Boy in WWII, and who went through 14

years of rationing, John knows a little about

what is needed to be resilient and dig for

victory.

The Grandfather of

the allotments,

John Plunkett

Rengōkai Karate

Forest Lyndhurst Karate Club

Forest Lyndhurst Karate Club was established at the start of

2022 by two black belt ladies, Zerina and Sheryl.

We have recently

relocated to the heart

of Lyndhurst, with classes

running on Saturday mornings. The Club is

also offering 6 Week Ladies’ Self Defence

Courses, the next one of which starts in

September.

Zerina is a 4th Dan and a national and

international judge and referee.

She has a huge amount of competition

experience and has won medals at top-level

events. She has been training for 35 years

and teaching for 20 years.

Sheryl is a 2nd Dan with 15 years’

training experience.

Since opening, the Club has gone from

strength to strength with regular attendees

who recently passed an official Grading for

their first karate belts. This was assessed by

the Chief Instructor of Rengokai Karate,

Sensei Mervyn O’Donnell 8th Dan.

Being part of a major organisation such

as Rengokai, we have everything in place

including gradings, courses and

competitions at all levels under the parent

umbrella.

We also run an After-school club at

Brockenhurst Primary School, are in the

process of opening one in Lyndhurst, and

have been invited to work with St Barbe

Museum in Lymington this August who are

offering Karate in the Department of

Education HAF programme.

Our Karate Club is open to everyone but

we are particularly keen to hear from ladies

who, like Zerina, come from an ethnic

background. It is often the case that there

are fewer opportunities for such women to

get out and do sport. We hope these ladies

will be inspired by Zerina and her

accomplishments.

The New Forest Show has also asked the

Club to participate this year! With the help

of Rengokai Karate members from across

the South, our Club will be providing

interactive demonstrations at this

auspicious Show in late July.

Zerina and Sheryl both possess

Safeguarding Level 2 and Emergency First

Aid certificates, as well as Enhanced DBS.

Karate is an excellent form of self defence,

as well as being a superb cardiovascular

workout.

It is an effective path to weight loss,

raising stamina and boosting confidence. It

increases flexibility and improves mobility

and balance.

Everyone is welcome at the Club, in

particular beginners!

hedging or are left as an area of grass. We also have

a small area of decorative flower borders and

seating, making a welcome haven for Centre users.

We are keen to hear from anyone who has an

interest in gardening who would like to volunteer to

tend and nurture these areas. If you have a few

hours to spare each week please contact Mike

Weston in the Community Centre Office on 023

8028 2267 or email admin@lyndhurstcomm.org

and he will be able to explain what is involved.

Tools will be provided.
