COUNCIL news
At the Annual Parish Council Meeting the Council elects Councillors for different
responsibilities, including councillor representatives on outside bodies. At this meeting,
at the beginning of May, Suzy Hamel was elected as Chairperson of the Parish Council
for the forthcoming year and Ian Underdown was elected as Vice Chairman.
Ben Curtis who was the retiring Chairman has decided to resign from the Parish Council
due to a change in his employment circumstances. Ben was thanked for all of his
work for the Parish Council during his seven and half years as a Parish Councillor.
A particular highlight of his time was his success, as the lead councillor, in the provision of
‘Hamble Ramps’ at the Mount Pleasant Recreation Ground for Hamble’s youths.
The Council has now declared a vacancy on the Parish Council and has started the
official procedure for appointing a new Councillor with the posting of official notices.
The Annual Report of the Parish Council was given to the Annual Parish Assembly
held at the Memorial Hall and it will appear in next month’s edition of the magazine.
A presentation was given regarding the proposed street lighting changes in the parish.
The process of replacing existing street lamps with more efficient ones and other
operational matters was explained. Prior to the start of this initiative a leaflet will be
available explaining the process as well as giving useful contact numbers.
Another presentation was given from the Three Rivers Rail Partnership which was
formed 5 years ago and is a non profit organisation with about 70 volunteers. Its aim
is to improve stations within Eastleigh Borough. This includes Hamble, Bursledon &
Netley stations which are soon to be a focus of its work. The Partnership will undertake
passenger surveys to identify possible improvements such as litter management,
passenger information, provision of plants etc which it will then endeavour to implement.

The Parish Council has decided to give a grant towards this summer’s ‘Park Sport’, which
provides coaching experience for ages 8-16, provided similar activities to last year are
held in Hamble.
As a result of Councillor Lear approaching Hampshire County Council it has agreed
to provide some Speed Indication Display signs for Hamble Lane. The Parish Council
considered the best location for these signs, particularly to provide the greatest benefit
for Hamble’s two schools.
Angelfish (Southampton) Ltd, which holds the lease for the Blue Star Café, has written
to the Parish Council regarding a proposed transfer of the business. Mrs and Mr Fish
wish to sell this business and have found suitable purchasers and sought confirmation
that the Parish Council had no objections to the prospective new owners becoming the
leaseholders. The Council agreed provided that the purchasers continued to operate in
accordance with the terms of the lease which includes the requirement to run a trip boat.
The Council is still pursuing the Borough Council to overcome difficulties regarding the
location of the Public Art seat which was to be located in the Square. The Parish
Council has decided to close the Parish Office over the summer recess for a week to
enable staff to undertake the annual archiving process.
Grants At the Parish Council Meeting held on Monday 8th April 2013 the Council resolved to
pay grants to the following applicants;

YOUNGSTERS AT HAMBLE PRIMARY
SCHOOL GO WILD FOR THEIR RHINO
YOUNGSTERS at Hamble Primary School had the chance to
get creative thanks to The Marketing Collective.
The Eastleigh-based marketing agency produces the Hamble
Valley Visitor Magazine and when they heard about the Go!
Rhino celebrations that are taking place this summer, they
were keen to sponsor a rhino for the Hamble Primary School.
Children at the school are busy transforming the rhino with their maritime themed designs
– and marketing executive Louise Collins joined in the fun too when she visited the school.
She said: “It was great to see the imaginative designs the children had come up with,
from boats on the river Hamble, crabbing on Hamble Quay and the strawberry heritage
of the area – the Go! Rhino project really does seem to have captured the imagination
of the youngsters.”
Managing Director of The Marketing Collective, Jo Andrews,
explained their close links with the Hamble Valley meant they
were keen to work with a local school.
“When we heard about the Go! Rhino initiative we really
wanted to get involved and we loved the idea of getting local
youngsters involved too. We can’t wait to see the rhino when
the children have finished decorating him – he’s going to look spectacular,” she said.
The Hamble Valley Visitor Magazine is a free publication showcasing the local area to
visitors and local residents and can be ordered from [email protected]

FRONT COVER: Newcomers to Hamble have asked about the significance of the white
gate next to Barclays Bank, by the path to Cirrus Gardens.
It was the gate to the main entrance of the former airfield’s sports ground and was located
at the corner of the High Street and Hamble House Gardens. The sports ground was
owned and used by Air Service Training and subsequently the College of Air Training. It
was reputed to be one of the best in Hampshire. It had its own full time groundsman
and a pavilion. In the summer it had a superb cricket pitch and during the winter hockey,
football and sometimes a rugby pitch were in use.
When the College of Air Training closed and was sold, development was only allowed
where its buildings were located and not on its open land. A developer sought planning
permission to build on the sports ground and was initially opposed. (Also see ‘From
the Council Records’, 25 years ago -Planning.)
Eventually it was agreed that the developer
would provide a replacement sports ground,
which became known as the College Playing
Fields, so they could build Cirrus Gardens.
As part of the agreement the sports ground’s
main gate was relocated and made a feature of
the new development, as a reminder of the sites
previous use.

HAMBLE LADIES GROUP What a night to venture out - wind and heavy rain but our Ladies turned out in plenty to
be highly entertained and enthralled by Jayne Lewis with her talk on Creative Embroidery.
Jayne talked a little about her life and how she started doing her embroidery, which is
mostly made out of recycled goods including plastic bags, bubble wrap, deflated helium
balloons, sweet wrappers, foil and even corn plasters (yes really) to name but a few and
with her artistic skill she produces some really beautiful pieces of embroidery. Mostly
done on sewing machines with a lot of skill needed. She told us how successful she
had been over the years winning lots of competitions with prizes being mostly sewing
machines which she put to good use or sold and put the money to buy better machines.
We were all fascinated by her story and very impressed with her beautiful exhibits that
she had brought along to show us. A lot of the ladies bought goods, which she had
for sale, and went away very happy.
She told us that she had won the ‘Peoples Choice’ prize at the Embroiders Guild in
Winchester last year and is entering again this year hoping for more success and
maybe another sewing machine!
Once again we had a very interesting, happy evening and it is was so nice to see some
new faces come along to join us.
By the time you read this we would have been on a trip to Minterne House, Dorset with
a stop at Sherborne Abbey on our way home so I will let you know how we get on in
next months magazine. Whether it was a wash out or a brilliant sunny day, whatever
we always seem to enjoy ourselves.
Our meeting on Tuesday June 11th is ‘Chocolate Making’ THEONE Chocolate Company
- too good to miss so if you fancy it why not join us, 8.00pm Priory Centre, Hamble
Church. Samples on sale to buy, hopefully.
Our meeting on Tuesday 9th July is a day time one. We are visiting SS Shieldhall, Dock
Gate 4, Southampton for a look around and afternoon tea so members please note
that there is no evening meeting that day.
Please give me a ring if you are interested in coming along to our meetings and I can
give you some more details.

HAMBLE FLOWER CLUB - 2013
25th Anniversary Year
The Hamble-le-Rice Flower Club consists of a friendly group of mainly ladies who meet on the
second Monday of each month at 2pm in the Hamble-le-Rice Memorial Hall. We welcome
both prospective members and visitors to our meetings and outings to share our love of flowers.
We have practice sessions, demonstrations by well-known demonstrators and two to three
outings a year to gardens, national championships and other areas of interest. We have a
stall at our monthly meetings where floral accessories are sold at very reasonable prices.
On Monday 13th May Members took part in a practice entitled “Exquisite Touch” that
involved creating a miniature flower arrangement which had to be contained in a 4 inch
cube! This took a lot of thought as every thing had to be to scale. A wonderful assortment
of tiny containers, flowers and foliage were used, it was amazing the ingenuity shown.
The finished arrangements were critiqued by Pat Maple and Angela Fox who said the
standard was high. It turned out to be a very enjoyable afternoon.
Our Next Events (also open to visitors):
Monday 10th June Talk by Sue Robinson from Hilliers on “My Chelsea.”
Hilliers have won over 60 Gold Medals at Chelsea over the years, so this will be very revealing and interesting.

Hamble Local History Society
Are you a RNLI supporter?
Calshot Lifeboat
If you are a supporter of the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution (RNLI) this may be your opportunity to find
out more about your local RNLI lifeboat. Andy Headley
from Calshot Lifeboat Station will be giving a talk to the
Society about its history and work.
It started in 1970 at the former military flying boat base and has had four seagoing
lifeboats over the years, but is now served by two inshore inflatable lifeboats. Since
it was formed Calshot Lifeboat has received three bronze medals for gallantry and one
Chairman’s letter of thanks.
Hamble is very fortunate to be very well served by local lifeboats, as it has its own independent
Hamble Lifeboat which gave a talk to the Society about its activities a few years ago. Hamble
residents and the river’s boat owners value the time and effort which these organisations
and its volunteers give to our area.
The meeting will be at the Roy Underdown Pavilion on Thursday 6th June, 7.30pm. If you
are a RNLI supporter please come along to hear about and show your appreciation to your
local RNLI lifeboat. New members and visitors are always welcomed! Our meeting fee is
just £2. If you would like more information about the Society’s activities please contact our
secretary, Brian Knapp, telephone 8045 3534.

Hamble Junior Cricket Club
Prepare for the summer ahead In the winter we at Hamble Junior Cricket Club have been working hard toward our first
season of competitive cricket. Our community projects have moved on apace, thanks
to the Hampshire Cricket Board operating a “Chance to Shine” project at Netley Abbey
Junior School on our behalf. Also we will also be providing coaching in Netley as
well as Hamble this coming spring. This is on top of our own club sessions that will
recommence outdoors on 23rd April, and continue every Tuesday until the end of July.
Our intention to provide quality coaching to all the youngsters in the community is
also of the utmost importance to us; so also this winter thanks to some generous
sponsorship from BP in Hamble, we have subsidised coach
education courses for our members. To this end we now have
a UKCC level 2, level 1 and a club Volunteer coach, as well
as our head “club coach” all waiting in anticipation for the influx
of youngsters we are anticipating following our community
projects.
We certainly see ourselves very much a community club, and as
such we are all extremely proud of a young man by the name
of Ieuan, who has just started training with one of the county
disabled squads. We most certainly wish him well; and hope that over the coming
months we will have more representation at district and county level.
With our first season of league cricket starting at the end of April, it is certainly an exciting
time to be involved with the club; to which end if anyone is interested in coming along
please contact Andy Burgess on 07949848496 or [email protected]

REPLACEMENT STREET LIGHTING
PROJECT FOR HAMBLE Hampshire County Council currently maintains over 152,000 street lights, illuminated
signs, traffic bollards and underpass fittings across Hampshire.
Much of the existing stock is in poor condition and will need to be replaced in the next
few years. Work to replace all of the existing lighting in Hamble is expected to start in
January 2014 and will involve the replacement of 322 complete units (columns and
lanterns) together with a further 246 lantern head replacements.
The Hampshire Street Lighting PFI project is the largest of its kind in Europe and will
deliver £121m of capital improvements over the first five years (by 2015). This will be
followed by 20 years of on going maintenance.
In low crime residential areas existing columns will be replaced on a like for like basis
but moved to the rear of footways, and onto household party lines wherever possible.
Principal traffic routes and higher crime residential areas will have lighting redesigned
to modern standards.
Lights in the village Conservation Area will either have existing lanterns replaced with a
similar style or be upgraded to heritage equipment to match that already in the area.
All the new equipment is designed to be more energy efficient and reduce light
pollution by shining light down and forward onto the highway. “White light” will be
used in residential areas to give improved colour rendition and help reduce the fear
of crime. Lights will also be fitted with a remote monitoring system which can be used
to control light switch on times, report faults and also dim lights. Lights will normally
be dimmed by 75% from dusk to midnight and 05:00 to dawn and by 50% between
midnight and 5am.
So far the project has delivered consistent reductions in energy consumption and CO2
emissions resulting in saving of some 4,000 metric tonnes so far.
Prior to works commencing, each household will receive a booklet giving contact
details, where to find more information and answers to a number of frequently asked
questions. Once the work is complete, residents will be sent a survey card to give
feedback on the project. So far around 11,200 survey cards have been returned
indicating an 80% approval of the project.

QE2 Barn Dance Leading an active life.
Alongside all the indoor and outdoor activities for people of every level of ability it is quite
appropriate that the QE2 Activity Centre in Bursledon should also host dance parties too.
BP Hamble was delighted to have the opportunity to sponsor their latest fundraising barn
dance which was performed by the local folk band ‘Corn
Rigs’. The large group of partygoers, made up of all ages
and abilities, raised nearly £700 at the hoedown.
The QE2 Activity Centre www.qe2activitycentre.co.uk
provides a wide range of activities for children and adults
of every level of ability. There’s always lots to do; canoeing,
climbing, archery, ropes course, zip wire, motor boating,
problem solving, orienteering, tunnelling and nature studies;
and you can also undertake team events like catapult building and firing, and raft building
and boating. The Centre is situated amidst the 400 acre woodland and farmland Manor Farm
Country Park on the upper banks of the River Hamble.
Eco Eastleigh Saturday 22 June, 11am to 6pm – The Wells Place Centre, Eastleigh
Eco Eastleigh is a new and exciting environmental event to promote living a Greener Lifestyle.
The free event will be held at the Wells Place Centre in Eastleigh on Saturday 22 June between
11am and 6pm and includes fun activities, exhibitions and workshops that are being supported
by local transition, transport and food groups.
The ‘Bike Dr’ will be on hand to provide a free bike check if your bike needs a bit of attention.
And you can give it a security mark while you are there.
LED lighting is new, very low energy and can save you money. They are so good these days that
it is difficult to spot the difference between LED and traditional lights. See for yourself at the
B&Q Climate Change LED Challenge.
There are also lots of things for the children to do and take away including experimenting with
the power of the sun by making sun prints, make a newspaper plant pot for a seed, build a bee
hotel and make some noise in the recycled music workshop plus lots more.
There will be lots of Eco Art on display from local children with the winners being announced
on the day.
At 5pm there will be a Climate Question Time with the panel including local MP Mike Thornton,
Cllr Louise Bloom and representatives from education, business and sustainability.

field, the parish would be deprived of much needed facilities, which would be a greater
need with the building of more houses …..
For new Councillors information, Cllr Whitcombe explained that the Clerk attends the
Committee Room at 7 p.m. before each meeting to enable Councillors to look at the
planning applications before the meeting starts. THE ABOVE IS AS RECORDED IN THE ARCHIVES
