BROADBAND UPDATE
We have heard recently from the Marketing Executive of the Hampshire Superfast Broadband Programme with regard to Cabinet 1 at the A31/Lyndhurst Road junction that they
“are experiencing a slight delay in the delivery of our cabinet but that it is still due to be completed within our programme. This is due to difficult access to the cabinet – in close proximity to a busy road. Due to problems with road closure Openreach are now going to utilise an alternative solution. This cabinet is scheduled to be delivered by the end of November.”
We are sure that you are already aware (but repeat it here just in case) that connecting your router directly to the “First Entry, Master, BT socket” will give you the best result possible for your existing line.
MINSTEAD OIL
Mike Hutton will be ordering Oil (for those who request it by 9am) on Wednesday 15th October.

If you need to confirm your order once the price and company have been decided then you must be able to confirm by e-mail between about 10 and 11 oclock on the Wednesday.

HOW WE USED TO LIVE, EMERY DOWN HISTORY GROUP
Our first talk is on Tuesday, 7th October 2014 at 7.30pm in Bank and Emery Down Village Hall as follows:-
The War Graves Photographic Project
By Steve Rogers
Discovering his family history sparked Steve’s interest in war graves. His talk will include both subjects. Steve’s grandfather, Frank Rogers, is inscribed on our lych gate and on the cenotaph in Lyndhurst. After visiting relations’ graves in Belgium Steve decided to photograph and research all 1,250 ROGERS men who died in WW1. With the recognition of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in 2007 the “Rogers project” became a volunteer run international project to photograph the graves and memorials that commemorate war dead around the world.
Steve’s family originates from Ringwood in the late 1500’s before moving to Lyndhurst in the 1800’s so he could be considered a ‘local’!! Steve served in the Royal Navy for 32 years and left as a Warrant Officer in 2007. He is now in full-time employment with BAE Maritime services in Portsmouth.
Please come and bring your friends. Refreshments will be available.
The series of talks continues monthly on the first Tuesday: 4 November 2014, 2 December 2014, 3 February 2015, 3 March 2015. Further dates to be announced.
