JUNIOR MINSTEAD PANTOMIME 2018

 There have been several villagers who have shown an interest in having a go, who don’t necessarily have a connection with Junior Minstead………following this year’s performance!!

For all those interested in writing and directing the next village pantomime you probably know Jo Vardy is stepping down as writer and director of the pantomime for a while, so thinking ahead to 2018, we are asking anyone who is interested in stepping up, that you attend the AGM in the Green Room at 8pm on the 26^th April 2017 with a printed synopsis to put to the committee for perusal, several copies would be good.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

CHICKENS IN NEED

Chris and Tessa Keeley wonder if anyone has any old newspapers going spare for their chickens who are confined to barracks until the end of February to prevent the spread of Avian Flu? They are running low and papers are handy for lining the chicken ‘litter’ trays. Their chooks are fairly easy to please ………. broadsheet or tabloid are fine so long as the paper is not glossy!

Contact numbers are 02380 812415 (home number) or 07958 727369 (Tessa’s mobile) and tessakeeley@btconnect.com.  They are very happy to pick them up from your house.

The LMTMWP

This is NOT Minstead’s entry for acronym of the year 2016! It stands for the Lyndhurst/Minstead Traffic Management Working Party which is a joint group set up to evaluate the problem of local traffic congestion, particularly in Mill Lane, and come up with feasible options to improve the situation.

See lmtmwp-update-1-1 for the group’s first update report which may be of interest and our thanks go to Councillors Taylor, Bennett and Wakelin for undertaking this tricky task on our behalf.

ALL SAINTS CHURCH

See all-saints-notices-11th-december-2016 for services and events at All Saints and

click here for more information about All Saints and the Benefice.

SHOOTING ON MANOR WASTE

Just a reminder that there may be shooting taking place on Manor Waste in the coming autumn/winter months. The land south of the A31 and west of the C17 roads in the vicinity of Stonard Wood, Hart Hill and Ringwood Ford Bottom has been let to an experienced syndicate. ‘Rough shooting’ of pheasants takes place on Saturdays (9-11am) between the end of October and 31^st January. All persons have a shotgun certificate and are insured members of the British Association for Shooting & Conservation (BASC). Deer control may take place throughout the year (except March) for not more than two hours after dawn, and on very occasional evenings. All stalkers have a firearms certificate, BASC cover, and are highly experienced in the safe and humane control of deer, as carried out by Forestry Commission Keepers across the New Forest.

It is hoped this information will reassure the public that shooting is managed responsibly but anyone with concerns is encouraged to contact Minstead Manor Farm (minsteadmanorfarm@hotmail.com or 023 8028 3706).

 SALT/GRIT BINS

The salt/grit in the blue bins is for use only in the community on public paths, pavements and roads.  It is not for use on driveways or garden paths.  Most of Minstead’s bins are located where road users may be at most risk if ice forms.  Anyone can use the salt to put on roads and pavements but it would be much appreciated if those who live near a blue bin can spread a bit around where it is most needed.  This is not as onerous as it sounds: only one tablespoon of salt (20 grams) is sufficient to treat one square metre of road/pavement surface.  Such precision is not really needed but a few shovel-fulls should normally suffice.

For further information visit the HCC website.

VILLAGE HALL

This is a further reminder that the Village Hall is available at advantageous rates for residents of Minstead.  For further information conact the Hall directly on 023 8081 3143 or at minsteadhall@btconnect.com.

For further information about the Hall visit the Hall Website.
