FLOWER SHOW SATURDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER
This year’s Show, the sixty-sixth, was another outstanding success thanks to lots of hard work by many. There were a massive 563 entries and once again the Hall looked spectacular and the judges commented on the very high standard of all the exhibits.
The Show was opened by Minstead’s pantomime celebrity Emma Vardy who took time off from her day job as a BBC journalist and reporter to be with us.
Introducing Emma, the Flower Show Society Chairman Colin Payne thanked all the Committee for their hard work, especially those doing it for the first time. Emma remarked on the huge amount of effort that had gone into preparing for the show, the high standard of exhibits and was impressed by the creativity from all parts of the Village community. She was delighted to declare the Show Open!
Next year’s show will be on Saturday 1st September 2018.
FLYING THE RED ENSIGN
Merchant Navy Day on 3rd September has been commemorated since 2000 but only for the past two years has it been the focus of a nationwide campaign to raise public awareness of our ongoing reliance on seafarers and shipping.
We are flying the Red Ensign – the Red Duster as it is affectionately known – on the Village Green today in memory of all those merchant seamen who lost their lives in both World Wars and in recognition of the crucial contribution they continue to make today to the welfare and economy of our country.

SSAFA
We have received thanks from SSAFA New Forest Division for the donation following the Village Fete. Setting aside the financial benefit, it was a very successful day in terms of getting SSAFA’s message out to people, many of whom had never previously heard of us. To find out more about their work please visit https://www.ssafa.org.uk/.
BEAT REPORT
The next Beat Surgery will be at 10am on Saturday 23rd September at the Village Shop.
ROMSEY CHORAL SOCIETY – SATURDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER
A further reminder that Romsey Choral Society is very much looking forward to singing a fun set of music for families to enjoy hence the afternoon matinee performance to encourage as many children to come as possible. The three songs from Alice in Wonderland are very special to Lyndhurst of course so make sure to put the date in your diaries!
